Hi @harishnaitanwar,

Maybe the easiest way is to use [Run](http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/OperatingSystem.html#Run), pass the python executable and script and wait for it to return, same as you would any other executable.

That might not be the best way though as it gives you no detail when there’s a problem

A better way would be to [Create a python keyword](http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#toc-entry-548) then you’ll have more control over what’s returned to the log, but you will need to do some extra python programming.

There are other options too, but from your starting point these are probably the best ones.

Hope that helps,

Dave.
