What inspired this wish list request?
With the new seamless Python Integration in Jmp18 , it's now much easier to transfer small tasks to Python.
e.g.
- JSL: read a file
- Python: compute new columns
- JSL: make Principal Component Analysis
- JSL: Plot Data in Graph builder
- use Make into Data Table -> dt2
- process dt2 in Python ...
- JSL: plot the result in Jmp
Such a ping pong between Jmp and Python was already possible before,
option 1) Use inline Python code within the JSL code -> very hard to debug
option 2) write the actual code in Python , 'import' is as a whole via JSL
new:
write the main code in Python - with some JSL calls within the Python code.
-> same issue as with option 1: hard to debug the inline code (slightly reduced issue as JSL is not as strict with the indentation as Python)
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Please allow Workflow Builder to accept JSL and Python code.
At the moment, the Workflow GUI asks for JSL code:
Just add an option to choose between JSL and Python (or any other code which is allowed ...)
Why is this idea important?
It will help in both directions::
- facilitates Python integration (Python can be included as an intermediate step without additional effort)
- significant improvement for Workflow Builder (no limits)
