How can we possibly know what is not right if you don't show us what you are doing and tell us what happens (or doesn't happen)?  
Post a small flow showing your attempt, possibly an inject node to trigger it and then your nodes to call the script, plus the python script itself.  
A question though, where do you expect the script to print to?

For posting your flow see [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506/3)
