    Hi Pintu,

    You could do this in two ways:

    1 - Expose your Python program via a REST API and invoke it using the HTTP Request.  See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/20.12?topic=web-http-request
    2- Invoke Python by running a DOS command.  You can pass in parameters to the script in the invocation string.  See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/20.12?topic=scripting-run-windows-script

    You could also invoke Python via Windows Powershell and DOS scripts.  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/20.12?topic=windows-scripting
