How can I run a Groovy script from within a Python script?

Question

I have a Groovy script that gives me an output file that I will use as an input file to a Python script. I want to run the Groovy script from within python instead of running Groovy and then running Python. If it is possible, please tell me how I can do it?

There are mainly 2 ways:

• Using the os library (https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.system):

import os
os.system("groovy your_script.groovy")

• Using the subprocess library (https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html)

import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(["groovy", "your_script.groovy"])
