Strategy ONE

Import Data From Python Query Data Source

Starting in Strategy One (June 2025), a Python Query data source was added enabling users to establish connections to web services using Python queries, replacing the need for XQuery.

Prerequisites

  • The Python Query Report is dependent on the Python Service functionality.

    • Python Service is available for use in containerized environments as well as uncontainerized Managed Cloud Enterprise (MCE) deployments.
    • To enable this feature, contact Strategy Support for assistance.

  • Required Privileges:

    • Use Scripts Python
    • Certify Python Scripts
    • Use Freeform SQL
