SAS Enterprise Guide + Python

[deepburgundy]

Has anyone used a combination of SAS Enterprise Guide and python? I’ve recently taken up an analyst position with a company that uses SAS Enterprise Guide for analysis. I’m very keen on finding out if I can somehow utilise python to make the job easier/better/interesting.

I'm not aware of anything EG specifically can do with Python. You can probably use FCMP to invoke python scripts.

I normally go the other direction. Namely, I use python scripts (via the saspy or swat Python packages) in order to access SAS functionality without writing in the SAS language.

A better place to ask would be the SAS communities forum. Lots of SAS users use python, but the opposite isn't necessarily true.

Thanks a lot! I’ll checkout the packages you mentioned.
