#Embedded Python

Just curious what the process is for debugging either a .py file that is uploaded to a specific namespace/location or a python classmethod defined in a .cls file.

My method can be run via the "Debug" breadcrumb but it doesnt hit breakpoints it just runs without a debugger. Also objectscript methods debug correctly

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).

Hello all,

I've seen that to install any python library we just need to call this:

C:\InterSystems\IRIS\bin>irispip install --target C:\InterSystems\IRIS\mgr\python geopy

Is there a way to install the libraries in a different directory and set up the system to load the python from that other directory?

Hi,

What is the Python syntax I can use from a ClassMethod (developed in an IRIS using embedded Python), in order to invoke another class method,

- in the same class; and

- in another class.

I see 'self' is synonymous to use $this (..) in ObjectScript, but these are ClassMethods I am invoking, and self did not seem to work.

thanks - Steve

Hello Community,

I got the PROTECT error while running functions. But, I could able to call the classmethods and methods in class definition with classMethodObject, classMethodValue etc.. from python. without any errors
python code

irispy.functionString('fnString','IRISPython',14)
irispy.function('fnString','IRISPython',14)

raise RuntimeError(error_message)
RuntimeError: <PROTECT> *Function not allowed

IRISPython.mac
fnString(fn1) public {
  quit "Hello "_fn1
}

Hi!

Trying to create a string with $LB using Embedded Python.

Don't see the way to do it. If Embedded Python supports list builds?

Hi, I am trying to use embedded python in a cache class, but I can only get it to work in the source code namespace.

We map our client namespaces to our source code namespaces using Default Database for Routines under System > Configuration > Namespaces > Edit Namespace in the management portal.

In the source code namespace:

SOURCENEW>w ##class(EF.helloWorld).helloWorldPython()

Hello World!

SOURCENEW>ZN "EVEXAMPLE"

In the client namespace:

EVEXAMPLE>w ##class(EF.helloWorld).helloWorldPython()

W ##CLASS(EF.helloWorld).

I have pandas installed inside my C:/InterSystems/IRISHealth/mgr/python

Set pandas=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("pandas")                        
SET pandas=##CLASS(%SYS.Python).Import("pandas")
^
<THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <THROW> 230 ^^0^SET pandas=##CLASS(%SYS.Python).

How can I get the Python error object(exception return value) from the embedded python method?
I have an embedded Python method like as below;

ClassMethod test2() As XXX [ Language = python ]
{
   try:
    a=1/0
   
   except Exception as ex:
    print("Exception: %s" % str(ex))
    return ex
}

I'm not sure what kind of return type to set for this classmethod.   "As XXX" <--
I tried to set "ClassMethod test2() As %Exception.PythonException [ Language = python ]"
However, I got the following return value when I run the method in the IRIS terminal.

USER>set st= ##class(User.PythonTest).

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'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:

```
<THROW> *%Exception.PythonException <THROW> 230 ^^0^DO ##CLASS(python.openaiUtils).Test() <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'tiktoken.

Hi everyone,
I'm getting prepared to take the following certification exam: "InterSystems IRIS Development Professional".

Can you give some advice on how to prepare (aside from the official course page: https://www.intersystems.com/certifications/intersystems-iris-development-professional/ )?
Do you have examples of quiz questions that simulate the real exam or any material that helped you getting prepared?

Thanks you in advance,

Arber

Hi,

I am getting below error while using embedded python script.

Want to know how can I change namespace to %SYS to use above mentioned class?

Thanks

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.

def iris_stream_to_bytes(stream):
	stream.Rewind()
	s = ""
	while not stream.AtEnd:
		r = stream.Read(1024)
		s += r
	b = bytearray()
	b.
