Hello,
The problem is, I have a shutdown python script but I need the value of an output parameter, there's any way to know the value of that parameter "Division" with python?

Not quite sure I understand... Do you need to acces the value of attribute "Division" from e.g. a PythonCaller? If so:
my_division_value = feature.getAttribute('Division')Not quite sure I understand... Do you need to acces the value of attribute "Division" from e.g. a PythonCaller? If so:
my_division_value = feature.getAttribute('Division')

I'm new with python scripting in fme, with this said... yes, I need the value of attribute "Division" but I don't know if I need to use a PythonCaller or can be done without using the PythonCaller?
Getting the value is the easy part, but what is it exactly that you want to accomplish? Knowing more would be helpful. But yes, basically you need the PythonCaller.

Thanks for the supplemental info. So you already know how to write a file with the translation status (see here).
The second part is how to "transfer" the value of a feature attribute into the shutdown script. We can use a Python global variable for that. Insert a PythonCaller just before the writer:
def GetDivisionValue(feature):
global MY_GLOBAL_DIVISION_VALUE
MY_GLOBAL_DIVISION_VALUE = feature.getAttribute('Division')Then in the shutdown script, you can retrieve the global variable like this:
global MY_GLOBAL_DIVISION_VALUE
print "The Division value was:", MY_GLOBAL_DIVISION_VALUEAs it is, I assume that only a single feature will be written to Voting...-something writer.
