Exploring Python Features Available in Anypoint Studio

Pre-requisites

• Anypoint studio
• Python installation

Anypoint Studio is a powerful IDE powered by Mulesoft that makes integration development a breeze! Python's power can accelerate development when added to it✨

Our goal in this blog is to install Python and then play around with it

• Python installation in Anypoint Studio

• Setting up a Python project

• Developing Python code for Mule projects

  
  

Let’s get started 🥳

Installing Python software in Anypoint studio

• Open the Anypoint studio
• Click Help or ALT+H
• Select install new software
• In the option available use this URL https://pydev.org/updates/
• ✅ the box available at pydev

• Click on next in the further steps

  
  

• Now click finish
• In the bottom right you can check for the status and progress of the installation

• Then a Dialogue box like this appears:

• Click on select all and trust selected!
• Once the progress of the installation is completed, restart the studio.
• After restarting we can see! we can use the create the python projects, within our mule projects, or either way as desired!
• go to file→ new → other → pydev

How to create a python project in the studio

• click file→ new → other→ pydev→ pydevproject
• Choose a name for your project
• Choose the Python interpreter from the installed location, or other options would work fine as well

• You need to create a folder within the project, and then you need to create a file with the .py extension
• Write your desired Python code:

• Click run as and select python run.
• This should work well ✨

How to add/run python files within mule projects

• Create a separate folder in the desired destination within the mule projects
• Then create a file with a .py extension
• Click run as python run

This should work as desired.
