Running Python executable from Spotfire

[Lewis Ainslie]

Hi,

 

I've got an external python program which performs some tasks which IronPython cannot and need to be able to run it from my Spotfire Dashboard. So that leads to, is it possible to run an external python script from spotfire possiblyusing IronPython to run it

Hi there,

You can call executables from IronPython such as Python. However, a better method would be to use the native Python data function in Spotfire (as of version 10.7), or the Spotfire Custom Python Data Function which works in version 7 and 10.

Both of these allow you to pass data to Python and back into Spotfire in a seamless manner much like you can with R, TERR, Matlab etc.

Here are some links:

Once set up, you can use pip to install packages as normal and then just copy and paste your script into a data function.

 

Hope this helps
