Dependency Status

The only dependencies of this package are:

Usage

The execution function will run send every command to the python stdin interpreter returning a Q promise. This will be resolved with the stdout of the python binary.

The python binary will be executed with the same environment variables as its parent process.

You can tweak the following options:

  • bin - The python binary to be used
  • env - Replace the environment variables for this python execution. Useful for PYTHONPATH, ...

Inline Script

 
var Python = require("python-runner");
 
Python.exec(
    "print('Carma Carpooling')" + "\n" + 
    "print('Get there together')" + "\n"
)
.then(function(data){
    console.log(data);
});
 
 

Inline Script Using python3

 
var Python = require("python-runner");
 
Python.exec(
    [ 
        "print(line1)",
        "print(line2)"
    ],
    {
     
      /// set the python binary. Its 'python' by default
        bin: "python3",
        
        /// python variables
        vars: {
            "line1": "Carma Carpooling",
            "line2": "Get there together"
        },
        
        /// python environment variables
        env: {
            /// set the env for this execution
            PYTHONPATH: "..."
        }
 
    }
)
.then(function(data){
    console.log(data);
})
.catch(function(err){
    console.log("Error", err);
});

var Python = requrie("python-runner");
 
Python.execScript(
    __dirname + "/example.py",
    {

        args: [ "argument" ]
    }
)
