Is there a way to implement a Python script (utilizing the JIRA Rest API) into a Jira plugin?

[Brian L]

I have a python script that utilizes the Jira Rest API to perform some actions. Is there anyway to package this into a Servlet with the Atlassian SDK for my Jira server?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, but your plugin will need to incorporate a Python executable environment.  Jira doesn't have one (it's not written in Python)

I have my servlet calling my python script, which works like a charm on localhost, except whenever I deploy my plugin onto a Jira server the Python script doesn't get called.

I thought it may have something to do with the file path, but is it because there isn't a Python executable environment in the Jira server?

I can't figure out how to incorporate a Python executable environment. Can you help guide me on that?
