Notes on Python Support
- A new ‘Language‘ selection is available in the Script Toolbox, Script Include and Select Automation dialogs, allowing users to choose between VBScript and Python.
- Python (version 3.7) is embedded, i.e. shipped and installed as part of Impact. There is no requirement to install Python separately.
- nServer support is planned for a future release.
-
The initial implementation makes Python scripts available for use within:
- Impact Script Toolbox
- Custom Menu Items
- Database Window Button-type Fields
- Database Window Automation for Database Tasks (CUSTOMER table only)
- Impact Auto-Tasks (Database Installation > Automation > Auto-Tasks)
- Script Includes (Database Installation > Automation > Scripts – Note. Renamed from ‘VBScript’)
