Hi,

you can use this method to convert an ObjectScript $LIST to a Python list. I'm not sure if this works with %DynamicArray. If not you could try to convert the %DynamicArray to a $LIST first.

set plist = ##class(%SYS.Python).ToList(clist)

😀 Thanks.

Hi Guillaume,

thank you for the post and the straightforward recommendations. I have been using embedded Python for a while and have found that the hybrid between ObjectScript and python code is not always easy to maintain and refactor.

That's why I have now consistently outsourced the python code to .py files and imported my modules via

##class(%SYS.Python).Import("mymodule")

after reading your post. So far I'm very happy with how things are going, except I've had problems when applying the pythonic naming conventions for method names.

def validate_header():

caused errors when I tried to call it this way:

$$$ThrowOnError(mymodule.validate_header())

I had to rename the method to

def validateHeader():

which isn't particularly bad, but I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone is stuck in a similar situation
