A Qlik server-side extension plugin for accessing Python

[julietotsch]

Hi, I'm looking to learn how to integrate Qlik with Python, but I am unable to find a server-side extension where the moving parts are explained so a novice can understand.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

This is mainly documented at https://github.com/qlik-oss/server-side-extension.

If you want to write python code in Qlik Sense, please follow the instructions at https://github.com/qlik-oss/server-side-extension/blob/master/examples/python/GetStarted.md and take a look at https://github.com/qlik-oss/server-side-extension/tree/master/examples/python/fullscriptsupport_pand....

If you want to encapsulate functionality in custom SSE functions written in python, you can start with the above then continue with https://github.com/qlik-oss/server-side-extension/tree/master/examples/python.

Axisgroup has also made a series of blog posts about SSE which I think does a good job of explaining the concepts:

• Qlik Sense Server Side Extensions Part 1/3: Architecture and Environment
• Qlik Sense Server Side Extensions Part 2/3: A Simple Example Plugin
• Qlik Sense Server Side Extensions Part 3/3: Resource Optimization and SSE Limitations

Regards,

Markus
