If you were experienced in FME and had very basic python knowledge, what sorts of things would you like to see in a hands-on 'Using Python in FME' workshop?

I'm particularly looking for suggestions for practical exercises.

Hi @jdh

This is a interesting Topic: FME and Python.

My opinion:

  1. What is the language Python
  2. Python Compatibility version in FME
  3. Scripting Option - Startup and Shutdown Python Script ( some examples: check the conexion on Reader Database ( startup ) --- extract some informations from Log File ( shutdown ) )
  4. Working with transformer PythonCreator and PythonCaller
    1. Simple workspace to extract attributes from shape file
    2. Working with a list attributes
    3. Demonstrate the inside script Python from a custom transformer PythonEmailer
    4. Advanced: Working with Raster Libraries GDAL

Well, these are my opinion the Topics. I believe the others users can be help to bettter these topics

 

Thanks,

Danilo

I tend to use Visual Studio Code to write my python scripts in for testing purposes and then migrate to FME, as the Python editor in FME lacks a lot of the options I have in other editors like VS code with the multiple extensions. I would like to see other workflow examples that others use as I don't really enjoy writing Python code in FME personally.
