 I am trying to run sas on Google Colab. I am using the following code -

 

import saspy
saspy.SAScfg
saspy.list_configs()

 

sas = saspy.SASsession(cfgfile='/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/saspy/sascfg.py')
 
 It throws this error - 
Using SAS Config named: default The OS Error was: No such file or directory SAS Connection failed. No connection established. Double check your settings in sascfg_personal.py file. Attempted to run program /opt/sasinside/SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/bin/sas_u8 with the following parameters:['/opt/sasinside/SASHome/SASFoundation/9.4/bin/sas_u8', '-nodms', '-stdio', '-terminal', '-nosyntaxcheck', '-pagesize', 'MAX', '']
I tried this solution posted on github but not sure about the config.
 
What's iomhost and iomport here? I am running on my laptop and don't have access to any server. Can it still be possible? 

sas = saspy.SASsession(java='/usr/bin/java', iomhost=host, iomport=8591)

Hey, is this the same as the issue: https://github.com/sassoftware/saspy/issues/357

Seems like, so just checking. I was also able to go on colab, install saspy and then connect to SAS ODA from there. I just specified

the java='/usr/bin/java', iomhost=[appropriate hosts for your account] and iomport=8591 keys to get to the workspace servers in ODA (using my account, of course).

Thanks,

Tom
