pykx.q
provides this functionality. Most EmbedPy code can be migrated by replacing.p
with.pykx
https://code.kx.com/pykx/1.6/api/pykx_under_q.html
The needed file is included when you
pip install pykx
To make it available to your q processes run the commend to copy the needed files:
python -c "import pykx as kx; kx.install_into_QHOME()"
Then you can use as you describe:
l pykx.q np:.pykx.import`numpy np[`:arange][10]` 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
There are still some improvements needed to reach parity/maturity which will be coming in the next few releases of PyKX.
License flags are needed to use this feature but they are now provided to all downloads.
You can check your license in q
q)`insights.lib.embedq`insights.lib.pykx in: `$" " vs .z.l 4 11b
If you do not have the flags you just need to re download and a new license with the flags will be included.
