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.

I know about the functionality which is mentioned in https://community.blueprism.com/HigherLogic/System/DownloadDocumentFile.ashx?DocumentFileKey=c0683b90-4d0c-4c52-b20e-098a2eab426d

but we can make the steps more easier as this lot of time and efforts there should be direct stage where you copy and paste all code and directly execute it.
