Using Python Name Option with Python Send()

The Python Name option for Python Send() has a quoted string argument that contains a valid Python object name. The JMP object sent to Python becomes a Python object with the specified name.

Python Name() and Python Send() Examples

The following example creates the jmp var name variable, assigns it to the Python name python_var_name, submits the print statement, and closes the connection.

Python Init();

jmp var name = 25;

Python Send( jmp var name, Python Name( "python_var_name" ) );

Python Submit( "print(python_var_name)" );

Python Term();

25.0

The following example creates a variable x in the Here namespace, a variable y in the global namespace, and a variable z that is not explicitly referenced to any namespace. The variable z defaults to Global unless Names Default To Here(1) is on. These variables are then passed to Python.

Here:x = 1;

::y = 2;

z = 3;

Python Init(); // initiate the Python connection

Python Send( Here:x );

/* send the Here variable to Python

Here:x creates the Python object Here_x */

Python Submit( "print(Here_x)" );

/* note that the JMP log labels the output with the original JMP variable reference Here:x. */

Python Send( ::y ); // ::y creates the Python object y

Python Submit( "print(y)" );

Python Send( Here:x, Python Name( "localx" ) );
