The MD-CLI provides the ability to execute a Python application directly from the command line.
The pyexec command takes as a parameter either the name of a Python application from the SR OS configuration (configure python python-script application_name) or the URL to the location (local/remote) of a Python application.
For example, if the pyexec application_name command is executed, the SR OS performs the following steps.
The SR OS device searches for a configuration element configure python python-script application_name. If a configuration element is found, the system attempts to compile and execute this script. A failure ends the execution.
The SR OS device treats the application_name as a URL. As application_name does not have a URL identifier (such as cf3:\ or ftp://) attached to it, SR OS prepends the present working directory of the system (which is cf3:\ by default on most systems).
SR OS attempts to read from the derived URL; for example, cf3:\application_name. If this URL is successfully located, SR OS compiles and runs the application. A failure ends the execution.
Each time pyexec is invoked, a new Python interpreter is spawned.
