how to run python script to generate Eclipse project [message #1849848]

I am trying to implement an automated Eclipse IDE setup for the Gerrit project.
Gerrit uses bazel [1] to build [2] and a python script project.py [3] to generate the .project and .classpath files for Eclipse [4].

How can I run this python script from an Oomph task so that I can import the resulting Eclipse project into the IDE?

thanks
-Matthias

I have no experience with Python, but I think your best chance is Oomph's "Launch" task. You'd author a regular External Tool Launch Configuration and persist it in the clone. For paths to external executables such as a Python interpreter Isuggest to use the "String Substitution" task, perhaps in combination with a prompted "Variable" task. You should test the launch config manually first. Then declare the Launch task in your setup file.
