inlinesas

Call SAS from within a Python script. Pass your SAS code as a string to the call_SAS function.

Usage:

from inlinesas import call_SAS

sascode = 'your SAS code as a string'
result = call_SAS(sascode)

# You can also specify a location (using absolute path) for the logfile.
#
# If no logfile location is specified, no logfile will be created.

result = call_SAS(sascode, log_location='/path/to/file.log')

You can access the returncode, stdout, and stderr of your SAS run:

result.returncode

result.stdout

result.stderr

This current copy is a fork of the wrds inlinesas module. I did this so that I could use it to access TAQ. It is designed to be run on the WRDS server.
