The python( function executes a python program and returns the result (stdout).
Parameters
This function has one parameter:
source – Python script (source code). Note: It is very convenient to use “pipe” delimiters for this parameter, for example |||script|||
. This eliminates needing to worry about the delimiters that occur in the script itself.
Description
This function executes Python source code and returns the result. Here is a simple example.
python({print "Hello World"}) ☞ Hello World
Panorama formulas can be embedded in the Python source code using special tags. To embed a Panorama formula use
$«formula»$
The formulas are calculated in advance, then embedded into the source code as constants. For example, the formula $«2*3»$
will be embedded into the program as 6
. The formula $«upper("hello world")»$
will be embedded as "HELLO WORLD"
.
In the case of text formulas any special characters will be encoded as necessary for a proper Python constant. For example the formula $«{"}»$
will be embedded as "\x23"
.
To embed a Panorama formula with no quotes or translation use
^«formula»^
