Python With VBA ! Run python via VBA

New features, with many changes from 5.x

• Create new RunPy
  • Require PyServer (1.0 for PyWVBA 6.0) - (Program will auto download it when necessary
  • Added cache value
  • Huge Performance improves from 5.x

• Added some server function like ClearPyServer() - Clear all variable cached
• Don't need to create logfile or codefile
• Keep 5.4 RunPy() and renamed it to RunPyOld()
• ⚠ Warning: PyServer 1.0 using localhost with port : 9812

• Install python (Any version, NOTE: Checks Add python to path when start setup)
• Install PyWimVBA to your vba project (Install .bas file and see here )

Lower Version is tested privately; some versions are publicly released, but they are pre-release. They're outdated, unsecure and unstable, so please use only versions 5.2 or above.

Introduce basic uses of PyWimVBA

• Example construct

Sub MySub()
    StartPyServer ' Start the server
    ' Code here
    EndPyServer ' Stop the server
End Sub

FACT: You can hide the CMD of PyWimVBA by set silent=true (Read the documention below)

• Run python code & extract python value

Sub MySub()
    'Do a equation in python and export show it with MsgBox
    Dim Output as String
    StartPyServer ' Start the server
    RunPy("myvariable = 8 + 5")
    Output = RunPy("print(myvariable)") 'You can extract python value by using "print"
    MsgBox Output
    EndPyServer ' Stop the server
End Sub

• StartPyServer(Optional: pythonPath = "python",Optional useCustomPyServer: False,Optional : silent=false) : Starts PyServer (PyServer supports only single server) silent=true will hide command prompt of PyServer. Set useCustomPyServer to path of your PyServer (can use in offline or a older pyserver)

• EndPyServer(Optional deletePyServer: True) - A server doesn't close automatically with VBA, so you need to close it before end VBA code . Use deletePyServer=False to keep your PyServer to reuse in StartPyServer (Not recommend)

• CheckPyServer() - Check a or any server is running.

• PathPyServer() - Get PyServer path

• ClearPyServer() - Because PyServer support only one server, you can use this function to clear cached data like value,etc...

• RunPy(code) - Simply run a code of python, split new line with ;; and indentation are space,tab or tab smart syntax: !tab~

• LoadPy(file) - Load a python file and convert it to PyWimVBA Syntax

  • For example, it'll convert this file code

  examplefile.py

  import time
  time.sleep(5)
  

  • To import time;time.sleep(5)
  • APPLY TO USE: RunPy(LoadPy("mycodefile.anyextension"))

• RunPyOld(code,[pythonPath = "python"] , [newengine = False], [ keepFileData = False] , [UseDebug = False])

RunPyOld is "run" function from older version. I suggest you don't use it because it's outdated and buggy

• Code splitting by ";;" , e.x : import time;;time.sleep(5)
• [Optional] newengine : Improve performance, doesn't need to create logfile - still create code file . But it's will show up a cmd splash - doesn't work with UseDebug
• [Optional] keepFileData: Keep the output file and code file after finishing execution.
• [Optional] UseDebug: Show cmd that runs python code and keep it alive with it's output [Use debug to catch errors, the output file may not catch them. So when debug is enabled, Output file does nothing.
• E.x : MsgBox RunPy("Welcome to \'Python With VBA!\'")
