Running Python Script in Powershell

[shalong]

Hi all,

I want to run a python script to create a large number of Exchange mailboxes.
I am using the os.system("New-Mailbox.......) method.

However if i try to execute the python script in powershell it runs it in simple old cmd prompt (which dosent have cmdlets such as New-Mailbox)

Is there any way I can run the python in powershell or will i have to go and write a .ps1 script??

Thanks,
Shalong

Hi Shalong!

Although the Windows PowerShell is a Microsoft Product, I guess the Python experts can help you much more with this question than the Windows team can. Therefore, I'm moving this to the Python Forum.

Thanks Nepomuk,

For the time being im just printing everything generated by the python script to a .ps1 file and running this file in powershell.

Try and see if powershelter has someting like pythons -c flag.

 
>>> import os
>>> os.popen('''python -c "print 'hello'"''').read()
'hello\n'
>>> os.system('''python -c "print 'hello'"''')
hello
0
>>>

One would think powershell has something similar.
