How to add a python application into a loop and access the loop variable within the python script?

There is no direct way of doing this but there is a simple solution. You can add a PILOT program to print out a Python file (..py) with the variables, and then import this into your Python script.

PILOT program code

PRINT LIST='a= 100' FILE="variables.py"
PRINT LIST='b= "cube"' FILE="variables.py"

Python code to import variables

from variables import *

peint(a)
print(b)

Hope this helps!

Hi Ahmed

Thanks for the reply, this isn't what I was expecting but your answer provided a good tip.

I used a pilot to print a data file with the PID value, and added this file as an input in the python script

And it works!

Thanks :)
