Direct Python Integration

[ChrisBrook]

Problem Statement:
Currently we have a number of use cases which require Python scripts to complete specific NLE activity or to support with the management of files such as:

• encrypting/ decrypting with specific PGP keys
• converting protected PDF documents to unprotected, editable and readable documents for OCR extraction
• managing multiple PDF documents such as deleting pages, merging documents

These scripts are currently utilised as standalone py files which are triggered via Blue Prism; but not within Blue Prism.

Proposed Solution:

• Include Python as a supported language within Blue Prism code stages
• Provide Python as an installable supporting application alongside core Blue Prism product installer
• Provide the ability to run 'pip install' to obtain dependencies for scripts all within Blue Prism.

Include an action to run a PowerShell and / or Python script.
Could for instance be useful to extract a list of Active Directory users.

There is a VBO available inside Digital Exchange to retrieve Active Directory information.

Maybe you already solved this, or you are the creator of the mentioned bvo.

[NickiKristensen]

Thanks for sharing the AD VBO on Digital Exchange.
I do however still think that a "Run PowerShell script" could be neat, due to the almost endless opportunities it would bring.
File actions, Exchange, Office 365, SharePoint, advanced Active Directory actions, etc. - the list goes on.

The python language is one of the most accessible programming languages available because it has simplified syntax and not complicated, which gives more emphasis on natural language. With Blueprism I have created a VBO which can execute Python codes and run ML model.
