Drupal Python

This module provides a simple service which wraps around a shell exec command to run Python scripts within Drupal development workflows.

Installation

Add this to your project composer.json file in the repositories section

"drupal/drupal_python": {
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/dan612/drupal_python.git"
}

Then run:

composer require drupal/drupal_python

How to set up

After enabling the module, go to /admin/config/drupal_python and set the path to where your python scripts are stored. Once you add scripts there they will be autoloaded to the service and ready for usage. The script name will be stored as the filename without the .py extension, i.e. getTime.py would be getTime.

Usage

Say you want to change the page title via Python, you could do:

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_HOOK() for page_title template.
 */
function drupal_python_preprocess_page_title(&$vars) {
  $node = \Drupal::routeMatch()->getParameter('node');
  $python = \Drupal::service('drupal_python.conduit');
  $time = $python->runScript('getTime', 3);
  $vars['title'] = $node->getTitle() . " -- " . $time;
}

With a python script such as:

from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")

print("Current Time:", current_time)
