Using the Adapter for Python

Python is a high-level, easy to use, powerful, interpreted programming language suitable for scripting, as well as complex programming.

The Python standard library, an extensive collection of modules, implements the Python "batteries included" philosophy that gives programmers immediate access to sophisticated and robust capabilities that make it easy to write your own Python functions to be used in WebFOCUS.

The Adapter for Python defines a connection to the Python interpreter for executing user-written Python scripts that generate calculated fields (WebFOCUS Computes). These fields can be used in WebFOCUS Workbooks, WebFOCUS InfoGraphics, charts, reports, dashboards, and WebFOCUS portals.
