Just like the name sounds SASPy is a tool for Python users to access and interact with SAS. SASPy is a popular topic on the community with multiple threads and articles. We think it's such a useful tool, we'd like to feature it in the next SAS Community Trivia SAS Bowl event.

Please REGISTER and JOIN the Teams meeting to participate.

SAS Bowl XIV, SASPy is scheduled for Thursday, November 11, 2021, at 4 PM ET.

More on SASPy

SASPy is the key that allows Python developers (who may or may not code in SAS) access to SAS data and analytics capabilities, without having to code in SAS.

Key features of SASPy include:
• generate SAS code supplied Python objects and methods
• convert data between SAS data sets and Pandas data frames
• interface with Jupyter notebooks or interactive and batch Python

To get started with SASPy, visit its home on sassoftware's GitHub page. The repository contains full documentation, usage notes, and many examples.
