TabPy (the Tableau Python Server) is an external service implementation which expands Tableau’s capabilities by allowing users to execute Python scripts and saved functions via Tableau’s table calculations. TabPy allows Tableau to remotely execute Python code.
Python has vast libraries to connect various tools, and hence it is becoming popular in automation and data science projects. One such module that we will be discussing here is TabPy which can be used to connect Python with Tableau.
It has two components:
1. A process built on Tornado, which allows for the remote execution of Python code through a set of REST APIs. The code can either be immediately executed or persisted in the server process and exposed as a REST endpoint, to be called later.
2. A tools library that enables the deployment of such endpoints, based on Python functions.
Tableau can connect to the TabPy server to execute Python code on the fly and display results in Tableau visualizations. Users can control data and parameters being sent to TabPy by interacting with their Tableau worksheets, dashboard or stories.
