Run Python as external process in custom operator

Hi,

 

I'm trying to build a custom operator that calls Python under-the-hood using the ProcessBuilder class in Java. The Python extension is nice but a bit limited if you want to do more complicated things. Also, for every new project that wishes to re-use my Python code, I need to copy-paste between different RapidMiner processes because the script code is directly inserted into the XML. This is quite cumbersome.

 

Unfortunately, when I try to call Python using ProcessBuilder I cannot get RapidMiner Studio to NOT throw an access denied (java.io.FilePermission""<<ALL_FILES>>""execute") error. I have searched for all java.policy files on my system and added this particular file permission but none of these seem to have any effect. By inserting a typo in one of the java.policy files on purpose I could verify that it was indeed the one used by RapidMiner but even then, adding the <<ALL FILES>> file permission had no effect whatsoever. 

 

So, I'm completely stumped. Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?

 

Thanks!

    Dear @ralph_brecheise,

    the operator you are working in sounds very interesting. I think you are running into our security mechanisms.

     

    I will ask internally on how we can support you best.

     

    Cheers,
