For cases 2 and 4 (eh sorry I thought you meant python script from command line via TC):

 

def TestBlah():
  #call python from command line
  execResult = WshShell.Exec("python \"C:\Python27\Scripts\calledfromtc.py\"")
  sout = execResult.StdOut.ReadAll()
  #log it
  Log.Message(sout)
  #send python output to myself as an e-mail
  emailWorked = SendMail("blah@yahoo.com", "mail.yahoo.com", "TC Python Result", "blah@yahoo.com", "Automated Test Result", sout)
  if emailWorked:
    Log.Message("email with results was sent")
  else:
    Log.Warning("unable to send email with results")

Where calledfromtc.py has:

print 'tc called this'

^Only 'gotcha' is that I think TC uses pre-compiled Python (pyd only the stuff they needed) so you may have to install Python from scratch to get to it from outside TC. Also check environmental variables.

 

6. I have had two issues with Python in TC. In TC11 the performance was horrible, TC12 appears to have fixed this. The second issue is that when I hit a breakpoint in TC I cannot browse through Python list objects in the debug window. I remember seeing this elsewhere so I think it is a known issue.
