Call python script from ruby

Question

For example, I can use Python scripts in PHP like there:

exec(\"python script.py params\",$result);

where \"script.py\" - script name and v

Answer 1

You can shell-out to any shell binary and capture the response with backticks:

result = `python script.py params`

Answer 2

I used the following python call from a ruby module.

In my case using exec() didn't work because it interrupts the current process and caused the simulation I was running to fail.

# run python script
`python #{py_path_py} #{html_path_py} #{write_path_py}`

Answer 3

You can use backticks to accomplish this in two ways

result = `python script.py params`

or

result = %(python script.py params)

Answer 4

Another way to do the same thing would be,

system 'python script.py', params1, params2

Answer 5

One way would be exec.

result = exec("python script.py params")
