[xwiki-users] Python macro scripting - available packages?
Hi, I'm trying to import some packages into the Python macro on Xwiki 7.2, and while standard packages import fine (working with os and re, etc.), some (like xlrd) don't. Looking through the scripting guide and macro documentation I could not figure out how the Python macro actually works. Is it just a collection of bindings and translates the python script into groovy or something else, or is it calling the local Python installation? This might sound stupid, but I thought the latter was the case and this would limit the available packages (the ones I want to load are installed locally). Thank you Sebastian

We’re using jruby through JSR223 (java scripting api). Maybe https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/ApplicationsAndLibraries can help? Once you find out how to do it, it’ll be interesting if you could document it on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Ruby+Macro Thanks -Vincent
Thank you

Actually Vincent is talking about the ruby macro. The python macro implementation is Jython (through JSR223) that you can find on http://jython.org/. Some ideas: It might be enough to just put the egg file of the module you need directly in WEB-INF/lib since Jython is scanning the classpath (renaming .egg to .jar might help depending on the application server). If that does not work then you will need to create a proper jar (with MANIFEST and all) and put in it whatever the .egg file contains (that's pretty much what I did for the Pygments module). In any case you should get more accurate information by asking Jython guys. On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 8:26 AM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

If you want to see the embedded modules, they are all located in the jython-standalone jar (you can open it as a zip) file in /Lib folder. On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 9:27 AM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

And same comment as Vincent, if you find a nice trick please don't hesitate to share it on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Python+Macro On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 9:29 AM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

Thank you both for the help. I'll try to play with copying packages in the local directory and see whether Jython picks it up, there might be other restrictions. If I find anything useful, I'll update the doc site.

Take a look at the refreshed python_macro page: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Python+Macro It should be of some help. -Daemoen On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 9:01 AM, Sebastian Schafer <[email protected]> wrote:
