Running Python Code in SAS Viya 3.5

sridharamirneni — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:01:39 GMT

Is there a way that an existing Python Code can be run in SAS Viya 3.5? I am looking to do this so that i have a single repo for all my models.

This link in the SAS doc is probably a good place to start. There are a lot of references to Python in the documentation so I suggest you search for these also.

Hello,

This is probable the opposite direction of what you want, but SASPy allows you to interface with SAS® from your Python code.

I've heard of SASPy, but if you are on Viya, then I think SWAT is also available if you want to interface with SAS from your Python code and leverage processing on CAS.

For PROC PYTHON, I don't think that procedure is available on 3.5. When I checked documentation, I could only find it in Viya 2020.1 and later. Perhaps I could have also missed it.

Hello @rodriguez ,

You are right, PROC PYTHON is NOT in SAS VIYA 3.5.
