Running Powershell script with Python

I had a requirement where I need to trigger an existing PowerShell script from Python. The PowerShell script is to download a file from SharePoint.
I wanted to have the output of the PowerShell script within Python script output.

It’s quite easy to do this using subprocess and sys modules.

import subprocess, sys

p = subprocess.Popen(["powershell.exe", 
              "C:\\Project\\downloadSharePointFile.ps1"], 
              stdout=sys.stdout)
p.communicate()
