How to run a python script inside Applescript?

Question

I had to do an Applescript and by the end of it i just want to run a python script.

I wrote

do shell script "/Users/Tom/Desktop/ayscript.py"

But it's said "permission denied"

Any idea ?

It's my script and my computer ! Off course I have permission how to explain that to Applescript ? — NocNockie

Can you try running the script with elevated priviledges? Equivalent of sudo in Unix. — sshashank124

You are trying to run the script directly instead of using Python to run it. You need to do shell script python, passing the path to your script as an argument.

do shell script "python /Users/Tom/Desktop/ayscript.py"
