thanks a lot Dierk.

Regards to the second option, do you mean I can use jython as wrapper for my python code.

can I call into my python module (under jython) inside <scriptStep> such has,

<scriptSteps> description="check hostname" language="jython"><![CDATA[ from xxxx.Hostname import * hostname= Hostname.gethostname() ]]></scriptStep>

(as long as I have jython.jar in my classpath)

do I have to include the whole python script (which could be too long because of a chain of modules) inside <scriptSteps>.

thanks a lot,

Chang

you can use the standard ant tasks, e.g. <exec> to start your python script. Other options are using the jython bsf integration with the <script> step.

Hi,

I like to use some of my existing python code that does data acquisition in my bui test automation code which I plan to use webtest.

For example, if the BUI display the host name is qa_machine_2, I like to lanuch my python code which runs cli 'hostname' on the machine and compares the result as one of my tests.

So the question is, is there a way to include python inside webtest xml code?

thanks,

Chang
