I am looking to create a Python virtual environment (venv) so that my imported/installed python packages can be separate on different namespaces in IRIS. I am able to go and create an environment, activate it, and install packages, but I am not sure how to ensure that Embedded Python methods actually point to this virtual environment.

Is the best solution to just load the virtual environment at runtime, in each method? That seems like a bad solution. Has anyone run into this and found a good solution?

I have an Embedded Python method, which is essentially a call to one third-party module.

Most of the time, the method takes <0.1 seconds to execute, but sometimes it takes 30 or 60 seconds.

The server is relatively idle (20-30% CPU load).

How can I debug this issue further? Ideally, I want to know where this library spends the time. The library is mainly Python code (it's boto3, so it's not a Python C API proxy library).

I'm trying to use embedded python code that receives an Iris %Stream.GlobalBinary and uses image manipulation library PIL.

Because PIL can't work with IRIS %Stream, I need to convert the image to python bytes.

This process seems to have very bad performance compared to writing to a file and then loading it from a file in python.

Is there a better way to send a stream into python? The conversion code I'm using is below.

Thanks.

I'm currently facing an issue with a Python script in my IRISHealth environment and would appreciate your insights.

I've written a class method, `getTokenCount`, in Python, which uses the `tiktoken` module. However, when I run the script in the terminal using `do ##class(python.openaiUtils).getTokenCount("")`, I encounter the following error:
