Hi Community,

Let's meet virtually at our Third Community Roundtable! This will be a 60-min discussion on a given topic: Developing with Python.

Register through >> this Global Masters challenge <<

UPDATE: the roundtable recording is available here.

TL;DR: This article describes an introductory-level project that exercises some string-manipulation functions in both ObjectScript and Python…with specs from a song.

Hi developers!

Those who code IRIS solutions in VSCode using Docker often use the convenient ObjectScript menu, which contains links to Management Portal, Class Reference, Unittest portal, Productions, etc.

While drilling down to a Dev Container to code Embedded Python there is no such option, at least within my settings:

So I don't know how to connect to it.

Thoughts?

Hi, devs!

What's the way to call the methods of %SYSTEM class from python?

I tried this way:

print(iris.cls('_SYSTEM.OBJ').Version())

and getting an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: iris.class: error finding class

Here is how it works in ObjectScript:

Folks!

Could you please share any best practices on how to debug Embedded Python code?

Given I have the following class method:

Hi Community,

Join us for an InterSystems Developer Meetup during TechCrunch Disrupt 2022!

We’ll be meeting on Wednesday, October 19th at Bartlett Hall, located at 242 O’Farrell St. (just a few short blocks from the Moscone Center) starting at 6 pm through 8:30 pm PT, where speakers will discuss how developers can bring the code to the data, not data to the code with Embedded Python and Integrated ML on InterSystems IRIS.

Food and drinks will be served accompanied by discussions.

Agenda:

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?

You may know it but IRIS is a database with the ability to execute code.

The code execution part is called an Application Server.

Today IRIS supports natively two languages: ObjectScript and Python.
Executing code is good, knowing how to organize it is better.

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to write a stored procedure or something to return a ResultSet with Embedded Python.

My goal is the following:

I have a Goal table with a Text field that is free text.

Hi Community,

In this article I will demonstrate the functionality of my app iris-energy-isodata .
Application is accessing energy data (production, demand and supply) from the major Independent System Operators (ISOs) in the United States to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG's 12)

In the August Learning Services newsletter, see how you can get hands-on with healthcare analytics tools, Embedded Python, and InterSystems Package Manager. If you're new to InterSystems ObjectScript, try out a learning path to get started!

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube channel:

I am aware that we have 5 License Units on Community Edition. But I have issues figuring out how it's working.

I have Community Edition

USER>write $system.License.KeyCustomerName()
InterSystems IRIS Community

Freshly started system, only terminal session open, so, only one license units used, and 4 left. As expected

USER>write $system.License.LUConsumed()
1
USER>write $system.License.LUAvailable()
4

Quote from documentation - $SYSTEM.License.MaxConnections() returns the maximum number of connections a user can make while consuming one license unit.

USER>write $system.License.MaxConnections()
25

Continuing to observe the possibilities of Django, and usage with IRIS. The first we have looked how to define models and connect to tables already existing in IRIS, than we extended embedded Django Administration portal, with an ability to see what data we have in that models, with filters, editing and even pagination.

Time to go to real action, now we a going to create some REST API, on Django, based on the same data, we used before from the package posts-and-tags.

To do so, we will use Django REST Framework

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.

Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:

• The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
• Authentication policies including packages for OAuth1a and OAuth2.
• Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources.
• Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you don't need the more powerful features.
• Extensive documentation, and great community support.
• Used and trusted by internationally recognised companies including Mozilla, Red Hat, Heroku, and Eventbrite.
