Hi,

If I can, how do I pass a parameter to the "FromPython" (the one from example) MapBasic subroutine or function from python side? 

It didn't work when I tried this

I looked at the documentation for CallMapBasicSubroutine in the Extensibility Reference:

void CallMapBasicSubroutine(
	string methodName,
	params string[] parameters
)

The parameters need to be passed to the subroutine as a string array.

The docs state:

Parameters
methodName
  Type: SystemString
  name of the mapbasic subroutine to call
parameters
  Type: SystemString
  Parameters to the subroutine. Parameters are passed by value to the subroutine; if the subroutine accepts no arguments, then pass null.

However, after reading this post, I realized that we may not support you passing multiple parameters as an array. The workaround is to concatenate your parameters into a single string separated by semicolons, and then split them in the procedure.
