Only other thing I could think of is coding a Python interpreter in Java as an Appian plugin, then using that.

It would be a gargantuan mountain of work, but it could also make you / your company rich on the App Market.

Not the option I would go with, but you could see if there's a way to compile Python to JVM bytecode. You would do that to expose your scripts as Appian plugins. Before exploring this option, I would exhaust all possibilities of using a Python web server to expose your scripts.

Hi Carlose,

Thank you, Instead of hitting the api, can we have any other suggestions?

You should be able to expose your Python script using an HTTP server, which can then be called from Appian.
