can i use matplotlib and other visual python libraries with python actions on PD?
Yes, you can use matplotlib and other Python libraries in Pipedream workflows. To use a Python library, you can use the “Run Python Code” action in a Python step. Here’s how to add the action: 1. Search for the Python app from the step menu 2. Select the “Run Python Code” action 3. Connect your Python account 4. At the bottom of the step, click “Test” to run the action and test the configuration. Remember to import the required libraries in your Python code.
it doesnt plot any graphs
I apologize for the confusion earlier. While you can use matplotlib and other Python libraries in Pipedream, displaying plots directly within the platform is not supported. However, you can save the generated plots as image files and then upload or send them to a storage service or another application. For example, you can save a matplotlib plot as an image file and then upload it to a storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox using their respective Pipedream actions. Here’s a simple example of how to save a matplotlib plot as an image: ```
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Sample data x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] # Create a plot plt.plot(x, y) # Save the plot as an image file plt.savefig(‘/tmp/plot.png’)
how can i list all the files in temp directory for pipedream
You can list all the files in the /tmp directory using the following Pipedream component code: import fs from "fs"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { return fs.readdirSync("/tmp"); } }); This code uses the fs module to read the contents of the /tmp directory and returns the list of files.
does gslides work with python?
Yes, you can use Google Slides with Python. To interact with Google Slides using Python, you can use the google-api-python-client library. You’ll need to set up Google API credentials and use the Google Slides API to perform various operations. In a Pipedream Python step, you can install the google-api-python-client library and use it to interact with Google Slides. However, you’ll need to handle the authentication process yourself, as Pipedream does not have a built-in integration for Google Slides specifically. For more information on using Google APIs with Python, you can refer to the official Google API Python Client documentation: GitHub - googleapis/google-api-python-client: 🐍 The official Python client library for Google's discovery based APIs.
im talking about the gslides library for python, not google slides itself
I apologize for the confusion earlier. The gslides library is a third-party Python library for interacting with Google Slides. While you can use most Python libraries in Pipedream, you’ll need to handle the authentication and API calls yourself, as Pipedream does not have built-in support for the gslides library specifically. You can use the gslides library in a Python step within your Pipedream workflow, but you’ll need to manage the authentication and API calls using the library’s documentation and methods.
