Python Bridge - 2D Lists from Python cannot be read back into OML
Altair Employee In the attached script, one can see that 1D lists such as list1=[1,2,3] can be imported in OML without a hassle.
Whereas when I try to import a list2=[(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)], I receive an error message in OML saying that list2 does not exist.
I use the command getpythonvar().
Am I missing something?
I have attached a file that can be used to reproduce my error message.
I am using Compose 2019.3
Thanks a bunch,
Deb

What you can do is to convert your tuple into list. An example:
t = ('my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'tuple')
l = list(t)
And then use getpythonvar to retrieve the variable.

Altair EmployeeHello Debdatta Sen,
I think the issue is in what is contained in the list: tuples.
Tuples are not supported. You can look at the supported Python DataTypes in the help page.

Thanks for the quick response!!
Are there any plans to support them in the future?

Thanks, for the tip!
But I think it works for 1D lists again isn't it?
I have a tuple again as soon as I have a single 2D element as in t = [('my', 'name'), 'is', 'mr', 'tuple']
In this case, you'd need to use list function again in those tuples inside the list:
l[0] = list(l[0])
Which would generate this variable:
[['my', 'name'], 'is', 'mr', 'tuple']
With getpythonvar, the output would be a cell within a cell:

Altair EmployeeWorkaround:
In Python:
list2=[(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)]
list3 = [list(child) for child in list2]
In OML:
getpythonvar('list3')
