The Execute Python Simple Script step allows users to execute simple Python scripts in a Flow optimized for better performance when used with the "Run Flows for List" function.
Prerequisites
This step requires the Python module to be installed and added as a dependency to your project before it becomes available in the toolbox.
Configure the Python module settings (System > Settings > Python Module Settings) by adding the Python DLL path in the DLL Path property. The DLL path typically looks like this: C:\Users\[the user you are logged in as]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python312.dll.
Properties
Settings
| Property | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Parameters are the input variables to the Python script. Click on the "Show Editor" to add custom Parameters. | Any (based on script) |
| Script File | Python script to execute | FileData |
Inputs
| Property | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Method Name | Main Python function/method name (entry point to the script) | String |
| Script File | The Python script file to execute | FileData |
Outputs
| Property | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| Error | Displays the error message when executing the script | String |
| Success | Displays the output string of the executed script | String |
Limitations
The Execute Python Simple Script step is designed for simple Python scripts that:
- Do not reference any external libraries.
- Do not interact with the file System.
This step is optimized for better performance when used with the "Run Flows for List" function, addressing the issue of response time degradation over time that is present in the "Execute Python Script" step.
Common Errors
No NumPy Module
This error occurs when the Python script attempts to use the NumPy library but is not installed. To resolve this, follow these steps:
- Open Command Prompt: Navigate to the Python directory in your System
- Upgrade pip: Run the command `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`
- Install NumPy: Run the command `python -m pip install numpy`
- Retry the Flow: After installing NumPy, rerun the Flow.
This should resolve the error related to the missing NumPy module.
