Answer 1

You can try using Process library.

Keyword like Run Process seems promising:

*** Settings ***
Library    Process     

*** Test Cases *** 
Python Tiny Program
    ${result} =     Run Process     python    -c    print('Hello, world!') 
    Log    ${result.stdout}

${result} will be an object, you can use various properties like stdout, stderr, rc and others. It's described in the official doc.
