FW: python and spss versions

[Brian Moore-7]

 

Hi all-

I recently upgraded from V20 to V24.

And some formerly functioning python programs no longer work.

I copied .spe files across, but at issue seems to be how trans works.

 

From here it appears to be among automatically included extensions:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLVMB_24.0.0/spss/programmability_option/python_uber_installed_extensions.html

 

 

Result of:

show extpaths.

C:\ProgramData\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\24\extensions

Does have SPSSINC_TRANS file folder in it

 

 

Example program that worked in v20.

 

BEGIN PROGRAM .

import trans, extendedTransforms

tproc = trans.Tfunction(listwiseDeletion=True)

tproc.append(extendedTransforms.soundex,'soundex','A20',['CompanyName_Notrail'])

tproc.append(extendedTransforms.nysiis,'nsyiis','A20',['CompanyName_Notrail'])

tproc.execute()

END PROGRAM.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "", line 2, in

ImportError: No module named trans

 

 

Any guidance much appreciated.

Regards,

Brian

Trams.py is a precursor of the TRANS extension but isn't part of it.  You can copy it over or get it from the website.  Save it where the extensions are.
