Source code for the Python SDK Examples?

Hello,

 

Where can I view the source code of the Python SDK Example Tools? I can load the tools themselves, but am struggling to find any part of the interface that will allow me to view the Python that these tools are built from.

 

Thanks,

Nick

Hey Nick! Are you looking for the Python SDK example tools in Designer, or the Platform SDK Example tools here: https://help.alteryx.com/developer-help/ayx-python-sdk-v2-example-tools ?

Hi Peter!

 

I'm new to Alteryx and not sure what the difference is between "Python SDK Example Tools in Designer" and the "Platform SDK Example Tools". The page you linked is listed under "Platform SDK", but it lists Example Tools that can be dragged onto a workflow in Designer.

 

All of our current pipelines are implemented in pure Python, and I'm working on migrating them to Alteryx. It would make sense for some steps in some of those pipelines to be implemented as Custom Python Tools that I can drag onto a workflow. So I'm looking for the Python source code that the Custom Tools in your link are implemented from, to help me get started.

 

Thanks,

I've finally found the source code for these examples! They are found in the `ayx_python_sdk` package under `/examples`. This is usually

  • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\ayx_python_sdk\examples

Here they are with comments removed:
