Hi all,
I use SAS IOM via C#, which uses COM/DCOM underneath as far as I understand.
SAS IOM can also be used via Java clients using CORBA.
Is it also possible to use SAS IOM via Python or R? Please note I am just asking for IOM open source integration. I am quite aware of other ways of integrating SAS with open source.
Any pointer would be very much appreciated. many thanks in advance.

SASPy -- the library provided by SAS developers and released as open source -- uses Python and Java components to access IOM. This library supports SAS Workspaces, but you could examine the code and adapt for whatever else you might need.
Instead of Java/CORBA, you could use the COM interfaces if you're more familiar with that (as that's how C# works with it). Python has packages for COM integration. R might as well -- I haven't researched it. The process would be similar to what I've shown for Windows PowerShell, I think.
