Running powershell script within python script, how to make python print the powershell output while it is running

by

  1. Make sure you can run powershell scripts (it is disabled by default). Likely you have already done this. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176949.aspx

    Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  2. Run this python script on your powershell script helloworld.py:

    # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
import subprocess, sys

p = subprocess.Popen(["powershell.exe", 
              "C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\helloworld.ps1"], 
              stdout=sys.stdout)
p.communicate()

This code is based on python3.4 (or any 3.x series interpreter), though it should work on python2.x series as well.

C:\Users\MacEwin\Desktop>python helloworld.py
Hello World
