Sometimes we need to call Python from TERR scripts, and vice versa.
To accomplish this, at least below functions are required;
1) Get path of currently configured Python executable in TERR .
or
2) Get path and other information of TERR in Python
It is appreciated these functions will be implemented in the future version.
Many thanks Junhong.
Here is a use case of call Python from TERR.
umap package provides user an optional calculation method by calling python package "umap-learn".
To call python package from TERR, I need get Python executable's path and set it in "use_python" function since bundled Python is not a system installation.
---------
library(umap)
library(reticulate)
use_python("C:/Program Files (x86)/TIBCO/Spotfire/10.8.0/Modules/Python Interpreter_3.7.5.0/python")
custom.settings <- umap.defaults
custom.settings$n_components <- nComponents
custom.settings$n_neighbors <- nNeighbors
custom.settings$min_dist <- minDist
custom.settings$metric <- metric
umapModel = umap(trainTable,custom.settings,method="umap-learn")
#umap will utilize
umapResult=umapModel$layout
colnames(umapResult)=paste("umap_",1:nComponents,sep="")

Hi Junhong, many thanks for contributing. Would it be possible to describe the use cases you see for calling Python from TERR, and vice versa?
