Python in PSU general questions

PowerShell Universal
1

Was testing out PSU 4.2 for the Custom environments and it works great. The only questions I have is how can you pass in variables or any other type of data and can you invoke a .py script. I tried creating an API as shown below.

Invoke-PSUScript -Script 'Preprocessing\Tokenize.py' | Wait-PSUJob
$Job = Get-PSUScript -Name 'Preprocessing\Tokenize.py' | Get-PSUJob -OrderDirection Descending -First 1
Get-PSUJobPipelineOutput -Job $Job
Get-PSUJobOutput -Job $Job

The only part of the API that doesn’t work is “Invoke-PSUScript”. The get job output works as expected. Was wondering if this cmdlet would be updated to run .py scripts.

Additionally im curious if there will be something similar to how Parameter’s with Powershell ask for input will be added. Either by var = input() or var = system.argv

This is the output of the API request

Just as an update I wanted to share this code runs fine

import sys

x = sys.argv[0]
print ("Script Name: " + x)

Output:

I tried using

from sys import argv
One, Two, Three = argv

however like you said its not currently possible to pass variables to the python environment. I think that would be a cool feature to be added.

The 1st thing I would check is if $Secret variables created in PSU can be passed into Python.

Anything else restricted to PowerShell

5

Variables are passed in as environment variables to sub processes like this. You cannot (yet) use secrets.

6

Do the python environments support run as? I can’t seem to get that working. When setting the environment or script to run as saved credentials it will sit running indefinitely.

Just found a bug with the latest 4.2
when building a custom environment I now have to manually add the path of the script

If it is not done this way you get the following error
