I install it directly from the intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl file (here):

pip install intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl

Thanks @Luis Angel Pérez Ramos

It works. I downloaded and installed in python. However I got timeout error while trying to connect the IRIS in one machine and it works in another machine. IDK pyodbc is required anyway it is also installed.

import iris

# Open a connection to the server
args = {'hostname':'127.0.0.1', 'port':52773,
    'namespace':'USER', 'username':'_SYSTEM', 'password':'SYS'
}

try:
    conn = iris.connect(**args)
    # Create an iris object
    irispy = iris.createIRIS(conn)
except Exception as e:
    # Handling the exception and printing the error
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

error mesage

So now the problem isn't installing the Python library, but connecting to IRIS, correct? If you're using the above code on both servers, is the connection info the same on both servers?

Hello @Raj Singh

Certainly. There is no issue in the python installation in my different machine (windows). I'm using my IRIS local instance to connect in both. No major difference except the port number and I'm using the super server port number in both cases.

And I'm trying to execute these lines from post and git in to my .py source file. This functions are not available in iris library package.So, Is this code snippet is only applicable for embedded python. Please correct me If I'm doing wrong

If the below syntax works in python source file, What changed I need to do in my package.

    # switch namespace to the %SYS namespace
    iris.system.Process.SetNamespace("%SYS")

    # set credentials to not expire
    iris.cls('Security.Users').UnExpireUserPasswords("*")

    print(iris.cls('dc.python.ObjectScript').Test())

Thanks!

Here, those scripts are embedded python script, which are different from python script.

For whatever reason, embedded python iris module is called iris and official driver is also called iris from this wheel intersystems_irispython-3.2.0-py3-none-any.whl.

This create confusion and package collision, an community edition exist that solve this issue and allow you to use them both, you can install it from here : https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-irispython

Another option is to use the iris wrapper : https://pypi.org/project/iris-embedded-python-wrapper/

Works well on macos, and i'm looking for feedback on windows machines.

Hi,

My bet is that you are using web server port 52773 instead of 1972

Try this :

import iris

# Open a connection to the server
args = {'hostname':'127.0.0.1', 'port':1972,
    'namespace':'USER', 'username':'_SYSTEM', 'password':'SYS'
}

try:
    conn = iris.connect(**args)
    # Create an iris object
    irispy = iris.createIRIS(conn)
except Exception as e:
    # Handling the exception and printing the error
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Is it embedded python or iris python native? (I always mess with them). If the first, try the following for the system:

; enabling callin for Embedded Python

do ##class(Security.Services).Get("%Service_CallIn",.prop)

set prop("Enabled")=1

set prop("AutheEnabled")=48

do ##class(Security.Services).Modify("%Service_CallIn",.prop)
