.. algorithm:: .. summary:: .. alias:: .. properties:: Description ----------- Algorithm that will run a snippet of python code. This is meant to be used by :ref:`algm-LoadLiveData` to perform some processing. The input & output workspaces can be accessed from the Python code using the variable names ``input`` and ``output`` respectively. Within your code ``input`` is an actual reference to the input workspace, while ``output`` is a string of the output workspace name. You are expected to create the output workspace yourself. Because of boilerplate code added to the python script being run, stack-traces for errors will be five (5) lines greater than where the error occured in the supplied python code. Usage ----- **Example - Summing all the counts in a workspace** .. testcode:: exRunPythonScript ws = CreateSampleWorkspace("Histogram","Multiple Peaks") script = """ logger.notice('Logging from within the python script!') wsOut = Integration(input,OutputWorkspace=output) wsOut = SumSpectra(wsOut) """ RunPythonScript(InputWorkspace=ws,Code=script,OutputWorkspace="wsOut") wsOut = mtd["wsOut"] print("The workspace contained a total of {:d} counts".format(int(wsOut.readY(0)[0]))) Output: .. testoutput:: exRunPythonScript The workspace contained a total of 9599 counts The same script could be saved to a file and specified using the ``Filename`` property instead of the ``Code`` property. .. categories:: .. sourcelink::
