Storing And Calling a script: a cleaner way?

Hello everybody 
Well, I just managed to use a python script with my Lazarus little
prog, through a TProcess, but I find what I did quite barbaric...

To sum up:
I saved my script.py into a script.txtI converted script.txt into
script.lrs using lazresI implemented script.lrs into my program and
loaded in a StringList var the text content of the scriptThen the
program saves this text script in a temporary script.py ...sets the
TProcess.CommandLine to "script.py "+ the arguments I need... executes
the TProcess ...and finally removes the temporary file "script.py"
What I simply want is to increase portability, having just the
compiled executable in the end, and not the executable, plus the
script.py, which necessarily has to be well located etc...
(Well presently it works doing so but it will not work if the program
is run in a folder not owned by the user - I'm using Linux - it's very
dirty)

There should be a cleaner way to call a script AND to incorporate it
in the project, no?

QuoteThere should be a cleaner way to call a script AND to incorporate

argument, it waits for input from stdin, you can use
LazarusResources.Find() to get your script as string and use
TProcess.Input.Write() to give input to python.
