The error ’embedq’ means you license does not have the needed flag to enable PyKX.

To get an Insights and PyKX enabled license go to: Download kdb Insights | KX

[rocuinneagain]

What version of PyKX are you using?

In a q session can you use the new license?

Does it have the needed flags for PyKX?

q)`insights.lib.embedq`insights.lib.pykx in `$" " vs .z.l 4 // Should return 11b

When you run import pykx as kx  did you paste the full output? PyKX does try to include what is specifically wrong with a license.

What OS are you using?

PyKX does not support multiprocessing on Windows.

Both work perfectly fine. For someone new to Linux I would probably say try Ubuntu – if you have issues you’ll find more threads/tutorials online for it.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a great option to have access to Linux locally on your Windows machine.

• Install WSL | Microsoft Learn
• Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS – Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store

Hi,

What version of PyKX do you have installed?

You need at least 3.0.0 to use that syntax.

pip install pykx==3.0.1

embedPy operates in a q first manner so you’d have to load your .p file and then call a q statement outside to do the assignment:

https://github.com/KxSystems/embedPy/tree/master/docs

q)func:.p.get[`func]

PyKX is the most flexible interface as it allows you do mix q first and Python first code in the same project

https://code.kx.com/pykx/2.5/

Python first assign a python function to a q variable

>>> kx.q['func'] = func

q first assign a python function to a q variable:

q)func:.pykx.get[`func]

Your other post asks about Windows.’ls’ and ‘pwd’ are Linux commands and will not work on Windows.

Try \dir which is a valid command in a Windows command prompt.

For example code use backslash to leave it as a multi line comment so those wishing to use this as a library can load the script without it running the example every time.

Syntax of the q programming language

[rocuinneagain]

The question is vague on what you are trying to do and how (no example code etc.)

Below is an example which when run results in:

HelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHelloHello

Java can decompress the data which kdb+ compressed with .Q.gz without issue:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.lang.String;
import com.kx.c;
public class Main {
    public static String decompress(final byte[] bytes) throws IOException {
        if (bytes == null || bytes.length == 0) {
            return "";
        }
        try (final GZIPInputStream ungzip = new GZIPInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes))) {
            final ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            final byte[] data = new byte[8192];
            int nRead;
            while ((nRead = ungzip.read(data)) != -1) {
                out.write(data, 0, nRead);
            }
            return out.toString();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        c c = null;
        Object result = null;
        byte[] bytes = null;
        try {
            c = new c("localhost", 5001);
            String query="`byte$.Q.gz(9;400#"Hello")";
            result = c.k(query);
            bytes = ((byte[]) result);
            System.out.println(decompress(bytes));
        } catch (Exception e){
            System.err.println(e.toString());
        }
    }
}

q does not have a type for lists of lists so you use the generic untyped list ()

q)tab:([] bytesCol:())
q)`tab insert enlist (0x0021;0x0002232)
0 1
q)tab
bytesCol
----------
0x0021
0x00002232
q)meta tab
c       | t f a
--------| -----
bytesCol| X
q)type tab`bytesCol
0h

.Q.en uses ?. It is ? that does the locking. So both at the same time is fine.

See:

https://code.kx.com/q/ref/enum-extend/#filepath

Enum Extend | Reference | kdb+ and q documentation - kdb+ and q documentation

Enum Extend is a q operator that extends an enumeration.

You likely downloaded from: https://kx.com/kdb-personal-edition-download/

But it does not have the Insights and PyKX features enabled.

You nee to get a license from: https://kx.com/kdb-insights-personal-edition-license-download/
