For my Embedded Python ONLY demo package I need some user input.
Similar to ObjectScript

read "say somthing",reply

I use the Python equivalent

reply = input("say something")

And this works excellent without problems  from Terminal or Doker console

BAD SURPRISE: 
with WebTermnial ObjectSscript works fine, but embedded Python fails badly.

I do not care about line terminators without <CR>
but it is just impossible to receive any input.

This is no improvement. The content is missing !!!!

QUESTION to the experts.
What is the Python way around this issue ?

I have of course a temporary hack using ObjectScript

In my previous articles, I described my Command Line Extension to NativeAPI.
Of course, this is also available for any other NativeAPI package.
So I created this example in Python as a demo.

Overview

The online documentation contains a reference Defining and Using Class Queries -

Customizing Stored Procedures with ObjectScript directly has been useful to access NoSQL storage and external messaging via integration, to present output in tabular format.

For example: An application that already uses 90% SQL interaction from a front end, can then also extend this access to the other 10% of required platform functionality, via the same SQL access.

The purpose of this article is to explore how to achieve the same effect via Embedded Python methods.

We continue with the series of articles based on the QuinielaML application.

In today's article I will describe how to work with the Embedded Python functionality available in InterSystems products.

Embedded Python allows us to use Python as a programming language within our productions, being able to take advantage of all the features available in Python. Here you can expand information about it.

First of all, let's remember what the designer of the architecture of our project is like:

Welcome dear members of the Community to the presentation and first article of a small project that will demonstrate the capabilities of InterSystems IRIS to provide full backup functionality for a web application developed in Angular. This article will be limited to presenting the concept as well as the InterSystems IRIS functionalities used in a general way, going into more detail in subsequent articles.

Welcome to QuinielaML!

Introduction

It is possible that you have already heard about InterSystems IRIS functionalities such as Embedded Python and IntegratedML, but surely you have not had the

Hi All,

We're doing our first babysteps with embedded Python and IRIS with an interoperability solution. We want to convert a CSV file to an Excel xlt file.

As service we've got a EnsLib.File.PassthroughService which picks up a csv file

As operation we've got a EnsLib.File.PassthroughOperation which writes the Excel file.

In the middle:

We've created an Business Process with an %Stream.GlobalCharacter in the Request and a %Stream.GlobalCharacter  in the Response.

But how do we get the %Stream.GlobalCharacter in the Python ClassMethod?

Hello,

I need AES ECB with PKSC7 padding for an interface.
Unfortunately, the %SYSTEM.Encryption.AESEncode cannot do this.

Therefore I wanted to include the following python lib.
PyCrptydome -> https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

We need to install the package offline on the system. So I downloaded it and put it in the MGR/Python/ directory.

However, when I try to install it, I get the following error message:

E:\HealthConnect\20201\bin>irispip install E:\HealthConnect\20201\Mgr\python\pycryptodome-3.18.0.tar.gz --target E:\HealthConnect\20201\Mgr\python pycryptodomex

Starting in version 2021.1, InterSystems IRIS began shipping with a python runtime in the engine's kernel. However, there was no way to install packages from within the instance. The main draw of python is its enormous package ecosystem. With that in mind, I introduce my side project zpip, a pip wrapper that is callable from the iris terminal.

What is zpip?

zpip is a a wrapper for python pip that enables developers to quickly add packages to an instance through the

Problem

In a fast-paced clinical environment, where quick decision-making is crucial, the lack of streamlined document storage and access systems poses several obstacles. While storage solutions for documents exist (e.g, FHIR), accessing and effectively searching for specific patient data within those documents meaningfully can be a significant challenge.

Motivation

AI has made document search remarkably powerful. Question and answering over docs has never been easier with open-source tools like Chroma and Langchain to store and use vector embeddings to query across Generative AI APIs.

My major interest is  Working with Globals in Embedded Python.
So I checked the available official documentation.

Hi folks!

How can I refer to a classmethod of the same class while coding another classmethod with Embedded python?

I know that I can call it with iris.cls(classname).MethodName(), but it's more cumbersome even comparing with ObjectScript, where I can call ..MethodName().

Compare ObjectScript:

do..SetupGame()

and the same call in EmbeddedPython:

    iris.cls('eshvarov.sample.SeaBattle.GamePython').SetupGame()

Thoughts?

Has anyone come across a good using Embedded Python to convert a Python List object to an IRIS %List object?

My use case is I want to open an SQL entry with an Objectscript class method, then pass some information from that row into a separate Python class method which will then create a Python List object, then have the Python class method return that list back to the Objectscript class method in such a way that the Python List can be converted to an IRIS %List object for me to then use in the Objectscript code.

Hi folks!

I have a need to use symilar to $property function from Python. Here is the code:

obj=iris.cls('some.persistent.class')._New()

for property, value in data.items():

 $property(obj.property)=value ; I invented this

How could I do this? Any trick?

For now I plan to implement a helper function in iris that I will call, but I doubt also how can I transfer oref to IRIS.

Thoughts?

Hi folks!

Just curious, how can I use $znspace in embedded python code?

How does other $functions work, e.g. $zv, $job, etc

Hi folks!

Consider I need to call a python function which name contains "_" symbol (which is quite often in Python). How it could be called from ObjectScript?

E.g. here is the code:

Set sm = ##class(%SYS.Python).Import("sample")

write sm.helloworld() ; function without _
white sm.hello_world() ; function with _ - won't compile.

Thanks in advance!

How Job command can be used with Embedded Python code?

Excuse if this is obvious to Python programmers but for those crossing over from ObjectScript this may be a useful tip.

The scenario is developing some Embedded python commands.

Testing out functionality is being confirmed via the shell:

$SYSTEM.Python.Shell()
 
Python 3.9.5 (default, Mar 14 2023, 06:58:44) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type quit() or Ctrl-D to exit this shell.
>>>

When Python evaluates an expression in the shell, it prints the result of the expression to the terminal.

>>> 1 + 2

3

It is quite easy to accidentally evaluate and print out values

>>> iris.cls("%Dictionary.M

Technology Strategy

When I started this project I had set myself limits:
Though there is a wide range of almost ready-to-use modules in various languages
and though IRIS has excellent facilities and interfaces to make use of them
I decided to solve the challenge "totally internal" just with embedded Python, SQL, ObjectScript
Neither Java, nor Nodes, nor Angular, PEX, ... you name it.
The combination of embedded Python and SQL is preferred. ObjectScript is just my last chance.

I was especially impressed how easy reading an HTTPS page with Python was.
On the other hand, I left Unit Test and Global

Written in reply to community post for can Python create HL7 Message dynamically.

Pre-requisites and setup

Use an integration enabled namespace.
Note: USER namespace is not enabled for interoperability by default.
If following suggest create a new interoperatibility namespace to explore functionality.

# Switch to
ZN "[Interoperability Namespace Name]"

# Launch interactive Python shell:
Do $SYSTEM.Python.Shell()

Script start

#Load dependencies

import datetime as dt
import uuid

# Cache current time in CCYYMMDDHHMMss format
hl7_datetime_now=dt.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')

# Create

Methods written in ObjectScript can use pass-by-reference arguments to return information to the caller. Python doesn’t support pass-by-reference arguments, so Embedded Python in IRIS doesn’t support them either. That's it, that's the end of the post, hope you liked it. 😉 But wait, what about the Classic Rock & Roll?

Actually, since returning values in method arguments can be useful, this post demonstrates several ways to do this, between ObjectScript and Embedded Python. So let’s start with the simplest example: calling an ObjectScript method that already has a pass-by-reference argument from

In this article, I will show you how one can easily create and read Microsoft Word documents using InterSystems IRIS with the leverage power of embedded Python.

Setup

First things first, let’s install the Python module called python-docx. There are a lot of modules to write MS Word files in Python. However, this one is the easiest one to use.

Just execute the following command on the terminal:

!pip3 install python-docx

If you are working with Docker, like I do, just add the following line to a Dockerfile

ENV PIP_TARGET=${ISC_PACKAGE_INSTALLDIR}/mgr/python RUN pip3 install python-docx

Let’s Get

Hi folks!

Just want to introduce you a new util to import CSV into IRIS - csvgenpy!

Install

USER>zpm "install csvgenpy"

Use:

do ##class(shvarov.csvgenpy.csv).Generate("file or url","table","schema")

Example:

USER>do ##class(shvarov.csvgenpy.csv).Generate("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datasciencedojo/datasets/master/titanic.csv","titanic","data")

This will create table and class data.titanic in IRIS and will load the data.  you can proof it with:

Welcome, dear members of the community!

In this article we are going to demonstrate the great potential that IRIS/HealthConnect makes available to all its users with the use of Embedded Python and we are going to do it by developing a small production that will allow us to recognize and identify the faces present in a JPG file from some images that we will use as a reference.

Project configuration:

Let us begin!We have published the entire application in OpenExchange so that you only need to download and deploy it in Docker as you can read in the associated README file.

Let's say you have Python including variable-length arguments methods. How can you call it from ObjectScript? 

deftest1(*args):return sum(args)
  
deftest2(**kwargs):
  a1 = kwargs.get("a1",None)
  a2 = kwargs.get("a2",None)
  return a1+a2

You can call this "a.py" from ObjectScript as below.  For **kwargs argument, create Dynamic Object in ObjectScript and put it into methods with <variablename>... (3 dots) format. 

set a=##class(%SYS.Python).Import("a")
    write a.test1(1,2,3)   ;; 6set req={}
    set req.a1=10set req.a2=20write a.test2(req...)   ;; 30

Multidimensional properties can be found on certain classes.

These operate as a collection of values much like a Python dictionary.
