As a developer, you need to create a custom action written in Python. Which action type should you choose?

AJavaScript action

Bcomposite run step

CPython action

DDocker container action

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A Docker container action is ideal for custom actions that require specific environments or dependencies, such as Python. By creating a Docker container, you can define the environment with the necessary Python version and dependencies, and your Python code can run inside that container.

Based on the question, I think C is the way to go. Python actions are made for custom Python code, so that should be the best fit for this scenario.

I'm a little confused by the options. Are the other action types, like Docker container, also able to run Python code? I want to make sure I pick the most appropriate one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I'll need to double-check the differences between the action types to make sure I select the right one for a Python-based custom action.
