Receive Variable from Python program

[pavankm]

I am executing a python program from AutoIt script using ShellExecute  i also have the alternative of using Run function. But my python program returns a variable which I want to use in my AutoIit script.  In using  ShellExecute / Run ,  the return value is a PID.

How do I capture the varaible returned by the python program.

Thank You.

Don't know python, but a quick search suggests you could use sys.stdout.write, and capture that, alternatively if you return value is int, you may use runwait / shellexecutewait to get exit code.

ShellExecuteWait is good. From here I can trigger a dummy python program which will execute the main python program and write the returned value to a text file. Then read this into my autoit program.

Thank You.
