Python issue in workflow

ppatane

I have been searching for a solution for this issue everywhere and cannot find an answer.
In my workflow, I am passing 2 files (full paths and file names) to a Python Tool as First One and Second One, and then I want to move 3 tabs from First One to Second One, replacing the tabs with that name in Second One.

I am getting AlteryxEngine not defined, and I have tried all the below to get the engine function:

From ayx import Alteryx

engine = Alteryx.get_engine()

Or

From ayx import Alteryx

engine = Alteryx.engine()

Or

From ayx import Package

engine = Package.Engine

I am using this code:

from ayx import Alteryx
import pandas as pd
from openpyxl import load_workbook
import os
engine = Alteryx.get_engine()

# Get file paths from workflow variables
first_file = AlteryxEngine.WorkflowVariables["First One"]
second_file = AlteryxEngine.WorkflowVariables["Second One"]

# Define the sheet names to move
sheets_to_move = ["3E Load File", "Excel Format", "Detail"]

# Read the specified sheets from the first file
sheets_data = pd.read_excel(first_file, sheet_name=sheets_to_move, engine="openpyxl")

# Check if the second file exists
if os.path.exists(second_file):
# Load existing workbook
writer = pd.ExcelWriter(second_file, engine="openpyxl", mode="a",
if_sheet_exists="replace")
else:
# Create a new workbook
writer = pd.ExcelWriter(second_file, engine="openpyxl")

# Write each sheet to the second file
for sheet_name, df in sheets_data.items():
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=sheet_name, index=False)

# Save changes
writer.close()

Any Python whizzes see what change(s) I need to make?

instead of trying to use the engine to get the variables (file names) read them into a dataframe:

import pandas as pd

import openpyxl

from ayx import Alteryx

# Read Alteryx columns

df_in = Alteryx.read("#1")

# Extract Excel file FullPath from the workflow thats in the dataframe now

first_file = df_in["First One"].iloc[0] # Get the first file path

second_file = df_in["Second One"].iloc[0] # Get the second file path

print(f"Source file: {first_file}")

print(f"Destination file: {second_file}")

from there you should be able to use the rest of your code
