Communication between Rhinoscript and Python

[FootMILL]

Hello there,
is it possible to run a python script with arguments from inside a rhinoscript?.

For context: i am sitting in front of some long rhinoscripts where i am sure that i can rewrite some time intensive parts in python to be much more efficient.
Only thing is that there is a lot of uncritical stuff around that parts that i would rather not rewrite.

Is there someting like Result = MyPythonAttempt( Arg1, Arg2) in Rhinoscript and how would the python script need to be designed?

Hi @footMILL,

I ran into similar issue many times.
It is not very straight-forward but there is a way to do this
Check out this explanation and sample:

Load material from file to layer in rhinoscript

I am in the same boat, with complex RS tools developed over a decade; there is no way they will get recreated in Python. So I was happy to hear that at least we’ll have issues fixed. RS already got some ugly duckling treatment with the Script Editor getting worse and having a few new bugs and features gone in V6. For me the sad part is dropping the development of it while it was actually getting quite powerful with new methods added in V6, but without even small additions or modifications to RS…

hth,

Thank you so much!
