Python 3.5 is not supported on this machine

[Tarun Parmar]

Hi,

I was testing the Python Custom Data Function that is available here (https://community.spotfire.com/modules/Custom-Data-Function-for-TIBCO-Spotfire-to-Execute-Python-Code) (more info here). I have anaconda running Python 3.6 and that showed an error like below. So I setup an environment within anaconda for Python 3.5and also gave same error.

The documentation at above link states:

Supported Versions: Python distribution 2.7.xx or 3.0.xx

But I can't find anaconda allowing 3.0 as they started with 3.5. So my question is, is the requirement for base python 3.0 Or it will work with any anaconda 3.x version

Please go to Edit -> DataFunction Properties-> Edit script and edit the data function to point to your python version:

Hope this helps,

Andreas

it still does not work after changing the installed version either to 3.7.0 or 3.8.0

Unfortunately, as of today, you'd have to re-match the version numbers. This is an issue that is being looked into.

so which version is prefreble currently to use for all the other scripts if we use. is it 2.7.13 or higher one we can use.

UPDATE: as of Spotfire 10.7, Python for data functions is now native in Spotfire. Users on Spotfire 10.7+ should use the native version which you can read about here: https://community.spotfire.com/wiki/Python-data-function-tibco-spotfire"
