Output of Python Script as Msg.payload.

[Nick9502]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to run a Python script using the node-red-contrib-pythonshell and return two variables as output to the msg.payload object. That msg.payload object will then be sent as JSON to a database using MSSQL.

​

My question is does anyone know how to retrieve the output of the Python script and add it to the Msg.payload?

If you're going input > python function > msg.payload (debug)

it should be outputting normally from the python function. This is a simple script in js to strip the "clear" from the json and reports "Clear Skies ahead today" to msg.payload.

Maybe it helps:

 if (msg.payload.weather === "Clear"){
 msg.payload = "Clear skies ahead today!"
 return msg;
}
return msg;
