How to start Python notebook in SAS Studio?

[msasu]

Hello,

I am very new to SAS Studio and want to know how to start a Python notebook in SAS Studio? Right click on the tabs only option is New SAS Program. Any quick help is much appreciated.

Hi @msasu SAS Studio is a browser based IDE for building SAS code. In newer versions there is now a Python editor. This adds a convenient wrapper for the PROC PYTHON procedure. 

However this is a .py file not .ipynb. 

If you want to access SAS functionality from a Jupyter Notebook interface you can use the SWAT (short for Scripting Wrapper for Analytic Transfer) and SASpy libraries to create connections to SAS from Python. There is also a SWAT library for the R programming language. 

Hope this helps

Harry

Hi @HarrySnart 

It seems "python code editor" is not included with SAS® OnDemand for Academics.

Do you know how to get the access on python code editor?

This is exactly what I see in my SAS Studio as well.

Correct, ODA uses SAS 9.4M7, while Proc Python is only in Viya 4. So there's no Proc Python via SAS/ODA.

Many thanks @HarrySnart for your prompt response.

However, I am not able to see Python program. I see below options when right clicking:

Not at present.
One needs to use Jupyter Notebook or VS Code with Jupyter notebook extensions or some other such client to open Jupyter notebooks and not SAS Studio.
If you are a SAS On demand for academics user see the instructions here https://support.sas.com/ondemand/saspy.html 
The video tutorial referred by @tom_grant is a good tutorial on using Jupyter Notebook for connecting to SAS.
