#Python

I have developed a process that pulls data elements from a cache instance using the tools provided with the "intersys.pythonbind3" import. This is a windows box. After validating the process, the next step is to install the process on a site (Windows) that does not have an installed version of cache and access the cache instance remotely. But, since intersys.pythonbind3 is part of the cache install, I am not sure what to do  to allow this process to function because of the missing import.

Hi Community,

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

Date & Time: March 30, 4:00 PM CEST

I am in the process of creating a python report writer that includes the information contained in "License Usage" page of the management portal. I think I have a handle on the local values contained in the report using the %SYSTEM.

I have a python script that is pulling the cache instance key expiration date ( KeyExpirationDate() ) which comes back as an integer. With the queryscript function - $ZDATE(73284) I can derive the actual expiration date. Is there a manner or method of creating an equivalent Python script that will convert the integer return by the KeyExpirationDate() method into a date string?

I am writing a Python tool to query our cache instances for various information. I have set up the connection without issue:

import intersys.pythonbind3 as pyb  

conn     = pyb.connection()
conn.connect_now(.....)
    
db      = pyb.database(conn)
qry     = pyb.query(db)
obj     = pyb.object(db)

I wanted to make the call:

execRes = qry.prepare_class("SYS.Database",'FreeSpace')

But fetching fails because of data mismatches ( as I understand from other posts) and my testing bears out this type of failure.

Instead I opted to attempt a query:

Hi Community,

Let's meet together at the online meetup with the winners of the InterSystems Python contest!

You'll have an opportunity to have a discussion with InterSystems Product Managers on the new IRIS 2021.2 Embedded Python functionality, Q&A on Python, etc. Our winners' demo included!  

Date & Time: Thursday, March 3 – 10:00 EDT

Hi,

I was playing around with the python binding for caché (2018.1.4) and I ran into some problems.

When executing the class query "List" from SYS.Database the  pythonbind interface throws an exception, that seems to be caused by a mismatch of the defined SQL datatypes for this query and what is actually returned (or the lack of type conversion in the pythonbind interface).

Is this a known issue ? Are there solutions/workarounds for this,
Or is this a bug ?
 

The details:

When executing "List" from SYS.Database there is an error for every datarow fetched.
When executing "FreeSpace" from SYS.

Hey Developers,

It's time to announce the winners of the InterSystems Python contest! Are you ready?

A storm of applause goes to these developers and their applications:

Hey Community,

We greatly appreciate all your feedback on the InterSystems Python programming contest. Please take a few questions to help us improve our contests.

👉 Quick survey: InterSystems Python Contest Survey

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.

Hello guys! I need some assistance with these problems I have.

The first one is that I need to execute a Python file, which is at /XY path. This PY is supposed to read an excel file and create a CSV version in /XZ path.

I am quite sure that the PY file is correct, but when using this function I get nothing but this error:

SET tSC = $ZF(-100,"/ASYNC /SHELL ", "python", "/data/InterSystems/IRIS/mgr/TEST01CODE/ExcelReading/ExcelToCSV.py")

ConfigItem 'FJ EXCEL READING' (FJ.BS.ExcelReading) started in job 3164

ERROR #00: (sin descripción de error)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi all - we just released the first episode of Season 2 for our Data Points podcast by Learning Services. This episode features a conversation with @Bob Kuszewski about Embedded Python. If you're a Python developer, or if you're simply interested in the functionality, check it out! For more information, head over to https://datapoints.intersystems.com.

I have seen the Cache Python binding documentation and would like to know if it's also possible with IRIS so I can write data and also read/get it from the DB? The cachesys folder does not contain any python libraries.

From IRIS 2021.2 is possible write Class Methods using the Python Language. I used this new feature to detect persons and objects into images, using ImageAI (https://github.com/OlafenwaMoses/ImageAI). The ImageAI creator defines it as: "An open-source python library built to empower developers to build applications and systems with self-contained Deep Learning and Computer Vision capabilities using simple and few lines of code." In this article you will learn how to apply AI Computer Vision to detect object and persons inside images.

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

I'd like to share an example on how the new Embedded Python feature in IRIS helped me in my daily routines.

While I’m participating in the iris-kaggle-socrata-generator project with Henrique Dias, I got to unzip datasets from Kaggle in order to import them.

Such a task was easily achieved by using the zipfile lib in Python (this code was copied from this stackoverflow):

Method UnZip(pZipFileName As %String, pExtractToDir As %String) As %DynamicArray [ Language = python ]
{
    import zipfile
    import iris
    with zipfile.ZipFile(pZipFileName, 'r') as zip_ref:
        zip_ref.extractall(pExtractToDir)
        fileList = zip_ref.namelist()
    
    dynarray = iris.cls("%DynamicArray")._New()
    for file in fileList:
        dynarray._Push(file)
    return dynarray
}

If you develop in IRIS you are confronted with two major phenomena:

• an incredibly fast and excellent designed data storage engine
• a scripting language to work on this storage engine, actually named ObjectScript
