Passing array variables into python py script

[sho]

Hi, I am trying to search for a solution for this and couldn't find much information, hopefully can get some advice here. Thanks alot. 

I have an autoit script which is already running, extracting information from an internal system, and storing the data as three sets of array variables. 

Separately I have a python py script with a defined function, processing some data cleaning on these three arrays and generate a txt file. 

I am trying to combine the two processing scripts (autoit and py) together, such that after the process completed in autoit with the output of 3 arrays, I can execute the py script and pass these 3 arrays into the py function. 

I have managed to use either runwait or shellexecute to execute the py script, but I was unable to pass the 3 arrays variables into the py script function, as result it has been generating an empty txt file. 

Example:

Final output in autoit:

$array1

$array2

$array3

In my py script :

def dataclean(array1, array2, array3) :

            some data cleaning steps

            return (txt output) 

dataclean(array1, array2, array3) 

 

How can I assign array1 in py script to $array1 in autoit? 

 

Thanks alot in advance.

You cannot pass array parameter to another program directly (only strings).  You may consider doing everything in autoit.  Or use intermediate txt files.
