The following example shows how to call a service from `python_script`. This script takes two parameters: `entity_id` (required), `rgb_color` (optional) and calls `light.turn_on` service by setting the brightness value to `255`.

# turn_on_light.py

## Documenting your Python scripts
You can add descriptions for your Python scripts that will be shown in the Call Services tab of the Developer Options page. To do so, simply create a `services.yaml` file in your `<config>/python_scripts` folder. Using the above Python script as an example, the `services.yaml` file would look like:
```yaml
# services.yaml
turn_on_light:
description: Turn on a light and set its color.
fields:
entity_id:
description: The light that will be turned on.
example: light.bedroom
rgb_color:
description: The color to which the light will be set.
example: [255, 0, 0]
```
