Running Python Code in SAS Viya 3.5

[sridharamirneni]

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.

To integrate Python in SAS (what you probably want), see here!

2. The PYTHON procedure (PROC PYTHON).

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.
