Discussion

The xbasic_execute_python() function runs a Python script. The Python code can execute Print() statements and the output generated by these Print() statements is returned in the result property.

dim pythonCode as c

pythonCode = <<%str%
def my_function():
    print("value1")
    print("value2")
my_function()
%str%

dim result as p

result = xbasic_execute_python(pythonCode)

if result.error = .f. then
    showvar(result.result)
else
    ' Error handling code here
end if

The Python code that you execute can use Python modules that you have installed.
