When developing Python applications with InterSystems IRIS, you can quickly end up with several execution contexts:

  • Python launched directly by IRIS with Embedded Python;
  • a regular python3 process that loads the Embedded Python libraries from a local IRIS installation;
  • an external Python application that connects to IRIS through the official native driver.

These three cases are useful, but they do not behave exactly the same way for imports, system configuration, object APIs, and SQL access.
