how to call python script in kettle

Question

I have a problem in kettle connecting python. In kettle, I only find the js script module.

Does kettle support python directly? I mean, can I call a python script in kettle without using js or others?

By the way, I want to move data from Oracle to Mongo regularly. I choose to use python to implement the transformation. So without external files, does it have some easy methods to keep the synchronization between a relational db and a no-rdb?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

It doesnt support it directly from what I've seen.

However there is a mongodb input step. And a lot of work has been done on it recently ( and still ongoing.

So given there is a mongodb input step, if you're using an ETL tool already then why would you want to make it execute a python script to do the job??
