Python Automation

[david.holt@switchthink.com]

I'm trying to find a way to have Jira kick off a python script. For example, someone creates an issue with fields needed that will be used as variables in a python script. That ticket, via a change in a field or some other way, will then reach out to a server hosting the python script to tell it to run (I have the variables being pulled already from the python script, but it needs to have something/someone to kick the script off). 

The other thought was to just create a web interface on the python server and use Flask to have users hit it and run the script inputting the variables one at a time.  

Thanks for any help!

I'd also go for your second thought. Having a web thingy that is able to take a JSON payload and than create an Automation rule in Jira that fires webhooks against the web thingy.
