Using google cloud function to spawn a python script

Question

I need to execute some python machine learning code and was hoping to execute it from a node process within a Google Cloud Function.

I want to use node because I have some firebase admin tasks I want to run afterwards. I also have a deployment workflow with node that I'm content with.

Is this possible? If so, can you point me to an example?

Yes, this would be possible, you probably need to use http://www.pyinstaller.org/ to package the python code. Have a look at my python library for actually writing your functions in python to do it, or just copy paste whatever parts you need to do it yourself: https://github.com/MartinSahlen/cloud-functions-python/
