SAS Tutorial | Using SAS in Python Applications With SASPy and Open Source Tools

Some background: SASPy is a module developed by SAS Institute for the Python programming language, providing an alternative interface to the SAS system. With SASPy, SAS procedures can be executed in Python scripts using Python syntax, and data can be transferred between SAS datasets and their Python DataFrame equivalent. This allows SAS programmers to take advantage of the flexibility of Python for flow control, and Python programmers can incorporate SAS analytics into their scripts and applications. This tutorial walks through examples of common data-analysis tasks, emphasizing the value of being a polyglot programmer fluent in multiple languages. No prior experience with Python is assumed.
