Generating a Python library

In order for the Python modules to work properly, you must copy two additional Python scripts which will be used as a library in the same directory as the script itself. There are two ways of communicating with the framework:

• Developing Python scripts using sockets
• Developing Python scripts using http requests

Overview

The two supporting scripts do not depend on the content of the Python script and can be retrieved in the Browser by performing the command Tools => Generate Python Library.

Note that the two generated scripts must be compatible with the version of the Java to Python communication. You should regenerate these two scripts if this version has changed for your framework release.

Python scripts using UDP or TCP sockets

For Python scripts using UDP communications:

• The pythonModule.py script
• The pythonUtils.py script

These modules are only valid for a both a Python 2 or a Python 3 environment.

To generate this version of the libraries, keep the "Http Libraries" checkbox unchecked:

Python scripts using http requests

For Python scripts using http requests:

• The pythonHttpModule.py script
• The pythonHttpUtils.py script

These modules are only valid for a Python 3 environment.

To generate this version of the libraries, check the "Http Libraries" checkbox:
