        Started to use python for some system stuff and wanted to be able to test it with the rest of the code.

The ant plugin is an EZ way to shell out from pom.xml

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>test</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <tasks unless="maven.test.skip">
                                <echo message="this example run some python test"/>
                                <exec executable="python" error="target/error.from.jobs">
                                    <env key="PYTHONPATH" path="src/main/python"/>
                                    <arg value="src/test/python/test.py" />
                                    <arg value="${test}"/>
                                </exec>
                            </tasks>
                        </configuration> 
                        <goals>     
                            <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
