Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I create a new Python Script in JMP 18?
A: Go through menu File > New > Script, select Python Script and start coding in the Script Editor. Alternatively, use keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+Shift+Y' on Windows or 'Command+Option+Y' on Mac.
Q: Will packages that rely on Python versions prior to 3.11 work in JMP?
A: No, unless your specific python package has forward compatibility, it is unlikely to be supported.
Q: Is it possible to have different Python environments in JMP?
A: Yes, but it currently requires manual file path adjustments. A simplified process is being developed for future releases.
Q: Can package installations be redirected from a controlled repository?
A: If configurable to install via command line pip for a regular Python environment, the same should apply to jpip. However, you may need to modify the jmputils.py file ($SAMPLE_SCRIPTS/Python/jmputils.py) to add appropriate environment variables and by default add additional command line flags. Once edited, copy the modified file into the JMP supplied python311.zip file as necessary.
Q: Which coding conventions does the editor follow, Python or JSL?
A: Python. A “Reformat Script” button is planned for a future release to make it easier to follow Python conventions. Automatic indentation improvements are also being developed.
Q: Can something generated in JMP Python environment be published to JMP Live?
A: Yes, if the output can be placed into a JMP report or table.
Q: Is it possible to connect to a user-installed Python instance in JMP 18, as in JMP 17?
A: No. The integration in JMP 18 isolates the JMP Python instance from any locally installed Python versions.
Q: Can Workflow Builder accept Python as an alternative to JSL code?
A: Not at the moment. Current capabilities focus on data access and Python and JSL interoperability.
Q: How do I see which packages I have installed in my JMP Python environment?
import jmp
import jmputils
jmputils.jpip('list')Q: Is group policy supported to disable jpip install functionality within the JMP environment?
A: Yes, this was added to JMP 18.1 as a group policy and as an installer option. The group policy allows enabling/disabling jpip package installation support, while the installer option ensures that none of the package installation capabilities are installed onto the machine.
