Using Python with SPSS

[Manoj Arora (DEL/Abacus Analytics)]

Hi,

 

I have been using SPSS for last 18 years and I have never used python with SPSS. How can I use Python and SPSS together? Do you have any book which will help me in integrating Python with SPSS?

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards

Manoj

You could take a look at the tutorials on Ruben's nice site.

Hi,

 

I have written macro in which I am generating tables for City and within city Telecom Operators. For some cities some operators do not exist so my data file contains 0 cases and it generates all the tables with error messages. Is there way to avoid the running of macro for non-existing of cases.

 

Thanks & Regards

What does this have to do with "Using Python with SPSS"?  You'll be more likely to get responses if you start a new thread (with an informative subject line) for a new question.  And note that replying to an old post and simply changing the subject line still louses up the threading in the Nabble archive.  You need to start a new topic/thread.

easy:

file handle input /name = "\\server\share\dir\subdir\foo.sav".
begin program.

import spss

def process(telecom_operators, cities):

    for telecom_operator in telecom_operators:
        for city in cities:
            get file = input.

            cmd = "select if (city eq '%' and operator eq '%s')."

            spss.Submit(cmd % (city, telecom_operator))
            spss.Submit("execute.") # needed here

            if not spss.GetCaseCount():  # skipping takes place here

                continue
            spss.Submit("ctables ....blah blah.")
process(["Verizon", "Orange"], ["New York", "Madrid", "Capetown"])
end program.

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a

fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
