Introduction
The xpressinsight Python package can be used to develop Python® based web applications for Xpress Insight. The package makes it possible to easily exchange data between the web application server Xpress Insight and Python and to trigger execution mode functions in Python.
Python is an interpreted programming language for general-purpose programming that has also become popular for scientific and numeric computing. The reference implementation (CPython) is available as Free Software under the terms of the Python Software Foundation License, which is compatible with the GNU General Public License. "Python" is a registered trademark of the Python Software Foundation.
This package implements functionality for developing Python based web applications for Xpress Insight. The purpose of the package is to make the extensive scientific and numeric capabilities of Python available from Insight.
With the help of this package the user can define a Python application class that can be deployed to Insight. In this application class, the user defines the data model and execution mode functions. The package uses the data model to automatically exchange the data between the Insight server and the application. The data will be stored in the attributes of the application instance and the supported types are pandas DataFrames, Series, Index, and scalar Python types.
The Python interpreter will be executed by the Xpress Insight server. The server will automatically load the application and trigger a certain execution mode function. Depending on the type of the execution mode, the data is automatically injected into and extracted from the application instance.
