Python Module

Overview

The Python Module allows a user to execute Python scripts.

The following code example is the Python script used in this example. It will take in two input values.

import sys
def main():
    print("Welcome", sys.argv[0])
    if len(sys.argv) == 3:
        print(" ", sys.argv[1], " ", sys.argv[2])
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

2. Select the System folder, in the action menu select Restart Instance.

   

3. Navigate to the System > Settings Folder, select the Python Module Settings. Copy and paste the path in the Edit Python module settings dialog. The path will typically be something similar to the following: C:\Users\....\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe.
