The ExecuteStreamCommand processor should be able to do what you need to do.

You can access the attributes using the expression language. For instance if you have an attribute named jython1, using ${jython1} will return the value of that attribute and you can use as a parameter when calling your script.

In addition to @Wynner's answer, if you'd like to keep using ExecuteScript, you can pass in arguments as user-defined properties (aka dynamic properties) or flow file attributes and use them in ExecuteScript. For examples on leveraging user-defined properties in ExecuteScript, check out Part 3 of my ExecuteScript Cookbook article series in HCC, it has examples in Jython.
