Although I had decided to use Talend as my primary datasmithing tool I still had one major problem with it, its lack of a scripting tool. Kettle (Pentaho PDI) has Javascript, Excel has VBA, Picalo has (well OK, is) Python. I could have gone (and did experiment) with calling Javascript, Jython or JRuby via JSR223, but I wasn’t happy with the level of integration afforded by this, opting instead to make command line calls to Python (using SQLite as a data carrier).
