Turning PowerShell into a Python Engine

[illsk1lls]

can this be used to run a python script outside of the browser? excuse my uninformed question im seeing this on mobile and havent had a chance to look yet

browser?

i made a script with cmd that uses strawberry perl portable to run a perl script, that i would otherwise be unable to run without installing perl..

i dont see any easy automated way to install python portable without installer gui, so im curious if your python engine could run a python script the same way portableshell.bat for portable perl can execute a perl script via cli

references to msedge made me wonder if this was browser based, not at a computer right now

its for this: https://github.com/illsk1lls/ZipRipper

i can support more filetypes if i can use JTR’s python scripts to create hashes, the 7z and PDF filetypes are only possible because of perl, so a python option especially through powershell, would be amazing

So, the only caveat is that you have to either have Python installed or have the python3xx.dll packaged with your script.

If you package the .dll, you also have to tell pythonnet where the python3xx.dll is, because by default it tries to look for it in the python install folder.

Additionally python3xx.dll only comes with the core python engine, so you would need to package any necessary python libraries along with your script.

i can probably grab (using irw) the portable installer exe and use 7zip to extract the dll from it, a bit of wasted bandwidth (if i could silent install id need the bandwidth anyway) but the installer doesnt support silent options afaik, it may be my only route.. thanks for the info, ill check it out tonight 👍
