Python Environment
This module allows you to run Python scripts directly from your Drupal site. It automatically creates a `/python/` directory for your scripts and uses a service to execute them, accepting and returning data in JSON format for easy integration.
Introduction
The Python Environment module allows you to seamlessly integrate Python scripts into your Drupal project. It provides a service that runs Python scripts from Drupal, making it easy to leverage Python for various tasks like data processing, automation, and custom logic.
Features
- Run Python scripts directly from Drupal: Execute Python code from your Drupal site using a simple service.
- Automatic Python script folder creation: The
/python/folder is automatically created at the root of your project, where you can place your Python scripts. - JSON-based input and output: Python scripts accept and return data in JSON format, making it easy to integrate with Drupal.
- Separation of concerns: Python and Drupal logic remain separate, allowing clean code management while utilizing both platforms.
- Ideal for custom workflows: Perfect for integrating machine learning models, API interactions, or advanced data processing using Python.
Post-Installation
Once you install and enable the python_env module:
- The module automatically creates a
/python/directory at the root of your Drupal project if it doesn't already exist. - You can start adding your Python scripts to this directory.
- To run a Python script, simply call the
python_env.bridgeservice in your PHP code and provide the script name along with arguments.
No further configuration is required. You just need to place your Python scripts in the /python/ directory and use the service to execute them.
Additional Requirements
- Drupal 11+
- Python 3 installed on your server and accessible via the
python3command. - Symfony Process Component, which is included by default in Drupal Core.
