A feature of A2019 is that you can call Python or VBScript or write inline. There is something like that. This time, various easy-to-use libraries such as data analysis, machine learning, image analysis, etc. are prepared. Here's how to run Python from A2019.

The Python code itself is very simple this time, displaying arbitrary messages in a message box. However, if it works, please try various things.

Things to prepare

PC with Automation Anywhere A2019 Community Edition set up

Rough flow

I've written a lot of things in a mess, but to put it simply, this is all I have to do.

Setting

Set up Python Set on the Windows side (pass Path to Python.exe) A2019 Make a bot Execute

Procedure (setting)

1. Download Python from the Download section of the official Python page.

Either ver2 series or 3 series is okay. (I dropped ver 3.8.)

Welcome to Python.org https://www.python.org/

2. Install Python.

All you have to do is start the executable file and follow the instructions.

3. Settings to enable Python to be called in A2019.

Set so that Python can be started just by typing "Python" at the command prompt.

I. Open the control panel. (Opens in one shot with Win + Pause Break)

II. Click "Advanced system settings" in the menu on the left.

III. Open the "Detailed Settings" tab.

IV. Click "Environment Variables".

V. Setting environment variables-1

There are similar lists on the top and bottom, but if you apply only to the currently logged in user, the top, If you want to apply it to all users registered on the PC, find the item "Path" in the list below and open it.

VI. Setting environment variables-2

The environment variable "Path" setting dialog opens. Click "New" in the menu on the right. Enter the path of the folder where Python.exe is installed. In my environment, it was installed in the following path. C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Programs \ Python \ Python38-32

4. Make sure Python.exe is in your path

Open a command prompt. (The quick way is to type Win + r-> cmd and enter.) When the command prompt opens, type "Python" and press Enter. If the following display is displayed, it is successful.

Procedure (A2019)

When you're ready, let's actually run the Python code in A2019.

1. First, create a new bot.

2. Insert a Python script action

Find Python Script in the menu on the left and open the tree. (You may search.)

Python Script: Open Python Script: Execute script Python Script: Close Drag and place the actions in this order.

I feel like this.

Python Script: Open only Try setting as follows. Other actions can be left as they are this time.

The Python code is below.

`SimpleMessageBox.py`


from tkinter import messagebox
messagebox.showinfo('Python GUI', 'message')

This time I selected Manual input and wrote the Python code directly, You can also call a Python source file with a .py extension by choosing Import existing file.

The Python runtime version is as you see it, but if the Python version is 2 series, select 2 or 3 if it is 3 series. Since I am using ver 3.8.0 this time, I have selected "3".

After completing the settings, press the save button. (Don't forget to press the "Apply" button on each node.)

3. Try to run

If you press the execute button and the following message box is displayed, it is successful ☆ 彡

Not only those who originally use Python, but also those who are new to this time can do various things with Python, so Please take this opportunity to try various things.
