It is very interesting to compare different BI technologies. It is curious to me what the differences are in functionality, development tools, speed and usability.

For this application, I chose a dataset with water conditions in various European countries. This is an open source dataset containing observational data from 1991 to 2017.

The team and I decided to make a model based on this BI dataset using IRIS BI, Tableau, PowerBI and InterSystems Reports (powered by Logi Reports).

For the frontend, we made a web interface in PythonFlask via Embedded Python.

The result, by the way, can be se

Hi Community,

This post is a introduction of my open exchange iris-fhir-client application.

 iris-fhir-client can connect to any open FHIR Server by using embedded python with the help of fhirpy Library.

One of the crucial business dimensions is the dimension “Where”. It is necessary to know where a customer was born or where he lives. Where will the order be delivered? Where have there been more sales, and where can we sell more? Where are our stores located? From Where is the customer accessing our e-commerce? These and other principal questions use the “Where” dimension. Today the best service to provide geographic accuracy and quality for these data is Google Maps. Taking advantage of the Python support of the new IRIS (2021.2+), we can use the Geocoder library (https://geocoder.readthedoc

Hi Community,

Imagine enabling your application to read text to your customer? This is now possible with the new IRIS feature, Embedded Python. With this new functionality IRIS can natively run any open source or commercial Python libraries natively. gTTS (https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/) is a free library that transforms text into audio using the Google Translate service.

How to

Just pass the text by parameter and gTTS returns an mp3 file with the text transformed into audio. That is, your application can play the audio of any text! See how to do it:

Programmatic Production Access

To Programmatically Edit Productions (interfaces) you can use a combination of the interoperability apis and SQL queries.

Current Namespace

At a high level, it is important to know the namespace and production you are working in at the moment.

// Object script 
// The active namespace is stored in this variable
$$$NAMESPACE 
// Print namespace
Write $$$NAMESPACE

# Python
import iris
# The active namespace is returned from this method
iris.utils._OriginalNamespace()
# Print namespace
print(iris.utils._OriginalNamespace())
>>> DEMONSTRATION

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).t

All of us know that money is important. We constantly need to monitor all expenses to avoid looking back to the bank statement and thinking: “So, where’s my money?”

To evade financial stress, we must keep an eye on the inflow and outflow of money into our accounts.It is also important to tack when and how we spend and earn. Manually recording all transactions in order to understand where our money goes requires an effort. It demands consistency, and it is boring. Today there is a bunch of mobile or SaaS options that help you manage your finances.

I believe that there’s a good chance you are d

See what's new in InterSystems Learning Services! In the March 2022 newsletter, you will: 

• Get an overview of the new documentation search features.
• Find content to help you prepare for certification as an HL7 Interface Specialist.
• Learn the latest on Embedded Python. 
• See how to start performing analytics in InterSystems IRIS® data platform.

This example demonstrates the difference you may experience when you write to
Gllobals directly from Embedded Python compared to native ObjectScript.

To make this demo useful I start 2 background jobs that simply write sequentially
to a dedicated global. A common control method signals for a synchronous start.
Similar a common stop & view interrupts data feeding.

That's the principle process:

As 2 jobs run in parallel the probability of just using sequential blocks is reduced.
During the development of this demo, I detected that the JOB command has problems
with ClassMethods in Embedded Py

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish called "Exploring the new Embedded Python feature of InterSystems IRIS"

It sounds strange though it's embarrassing.

I have a class with ClassMethods written in ISOS and Embedded Python.

The ClassMethods written in ISOS start in the Background as usual. No problems

But my 

ClassMethod setPy() [ Language = python ]
{
import iris, datetime, time
- - -

Just fails the JOB command with (even 15 sec) timeout and $ZC=0
This is not funny
My actual workaround:
I created a ClassMethod in ISOS, that does an elegant JobStart
and this ClassMethod only runs the Embedded Python ClassMethod.
I'm not amused and hope there is just an undocumented/unknown param missing

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?

With the latest improvements in support for Python in IRIS, and continued work on Python DB-API support by InterSystems. I've implemented IRIS support to the Django project where is Python DB-API is used to work with some other databases.

Let's try a simple application on Django, which stores its data in IRIS.

We are happy to share interesting information with you, as well as tell you why Python is good, where it is used.

Among the most used libraries are NumPy and Pandas. NumPy (Numerical Python) is used to sort large datasets. It simplifies mathematical operations and their vectorization on arrays. Pandas offers two data structures: Series (a list of elements) and Data Frames (a table with multiple columns). This library converts data into a Data Frame, allowing you to remove and add new columns, as well as perform various operations.

Python offers countless tools for data analysis projects and

Hey Developers,

We are pleased to invite you all to the next InterSystems online programming contest focused on Python! 

🏆 InterSystems Python Contest 🏆

Duration: February 7 - 27, 2022

In prizes: $10K - more prizes included!

In my article I described the work using iris.gref .
As the official documetation is rather slim on the subject it was necessary to dig into it.
Using the power of Python I was able to detect what I needed but was hidden.
I decided to share this with you. pydoc did the magic. 

Hi contestants!

Here are the results of the bonus collections the applications of the Python Contest accomplished.

Hi, Community,

This post will demonstrate how to display data on the web by using Embedded Python , Python Flask Web Framework and Jquery datatable

We will display processes from %SYS.ProcessQuery table.

Step 1: Add table to HTML page and write below javascript code to display passed data from app.py :

HTML

  <table id="myTable" class="table table-bordered table-striped">                 
   </table>

Javascript

  <script>
    
$(document).ready(function() {
      // parse the data to local variable passed from app.py file
      let my_data = JSON.parse('{{ my_data | tojson }}');

Python is 31 today ; let’s celebrate it 🎂 

And special thanks to Guido van Rossum
