Calling a method in Python file from the Keyword section of a Robot file

I am trying to call a Python function residing in a separate .py file from the Keyword section of a .robot file.

Is there any way to do that? Right now the function name residing in the .py file is not recognised from the .robot file.

a.py

Class abc:
   def func:
       ...


x.robot
Library a.py

*** Keywords ***
Calling abc
    func

Is there any way that func is accessible from the .robot file?

Yes, it is possible to call the python function to the robot file.

For example, consider this as your python file as test.py

def add(number1, number2):
   sum = number1 + number2
   return sum

Now you can import that test.py python file into your robot file.

*** Settings ***
Library   test.py

*** Variables ***
${num1}    10
${num1}    20

*** Keywords ***
FunctionCall
    ${output}     add     ${num1}    ${num2}
    Log    ${output}

Note: Make sure to keep robot file and python file in the same folder or give the path of python file while importing.

if you use a class in python code, instead of a plain module, your classname should be the same as the filename.
