The Product Idea boards have gotten an update to better integrate them within our Product team's idea cycle! However this update does have a few unique behaviors, if you have any questions about them check out our FAQ.
I completely agree. I like what you have done with the R Script tool. I would like to have something similar for python. I can use the Run Command tool, but this is not a very tight integration.
Absolutely! I've been trying to figure out a way of passing control to a standalone Python application from within an Alteryx module and return control after the Python code finishes. I've been poking at it via the run command. An intrinsic tool with inputs and outputs would be fantastic.
Thanks for the feedback! A Python tool is something we have planned, but have not scheduled it as part of an official release. We will let you know as things change and when we have a beta available!
