I'm trying to automate some stuff I would otherwise have to do manually, so I can run one python script instead of taking a whole bunch of steps. I want to find a way to run a Talend job from the python script.
How do I accomplish this? Is it even possible?
Oops! sorry.
From the Studio, build the job to get an autonomous job you can launch from command line.
Extract the files from the generated archive.
Search for folder "script/yourJobname".
Check the syntax from one of the .bat or .sh depending of which one you prefer.
Launch the jar file using subprocess.call (or other way to execute a jar file from Python).
Hope this helps.

As soon as you can run a Python script from command line, you should be able to run it from Talend using tSystem component.
