Lets assume you have a demo test.py file in the same folder as your test.robot file. Your test.robot file should look like this:

*** Settings ***
Library    Process     

*** Test Cases *** 
Python Program Testing
    ${result} =     Run Process     python     ${CURDIR}/test.py
    Log To Console    ${result.stdout}

where is your test.py file might be:

def main():
    print("Hello World!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

if you run robot test.robot command it should produce the following results:

==============================================================================
Exec Python File
==============================================================================
Python Program Testing                                                .Hello World!
Python Program Testing                                                | PASS |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exec Python File                                                      | PASS |
1 test, 1 passed, 0 failed

If you want to use your class in RobotFramework you can do it by using Library keyword, for example :

*** Settings ***
Library    your_file.LaunchApp    detransitPath=whatever    AS    app

*** Keywords ***
Keyword 1
    app.launchApp

But to do so, you might need to add ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL" in your class :

class LaunchApp:

    ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL"

    def __init__(self,detransitPath):
        self.detransitPath = detransitPath

You can use the run_process keyword from the process library. It returns an object that has the status code, stdout and stderr.

For example, this runs the script /tmp/helloworld.py:

# example.robot
*** Settings ***
| Library | Process

*** Test Cases ***
| Example of running a python script
| | ${result}= | run process | python | /tmp/helloworld.py
| | Should be equal as integers | ${result.rc} | 0
| | Should be equal as strings  | ${result.stdout} | hello, world
