I want to use Python for neural learning as it has very good libraries for it, so my idea is that GM2 send out strings to Python program and Python can control GM2 via key press events.

So far all I've got is to use ExecuteShell extension, but it is not starting Python - can someone please help?
Code:
ExecuteShell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\python.exe",true);

Got it working with the help of Samuel Venable:
Code:
ExecuteShell(@'"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\python.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python Scripts\example.py"',true);
Don't forget that you might wanna add logic to ensure python IS installed, and on that location, before you make a release build of the game. You probably would want to replace localization-prone hardcoded paths like "Program Files (x86)" with the appropriate environment variables, too.
