compile - How to execute an existing notebook with Wolfram Engine?


[My related question: mwe-for-compiling-functions-into-standalone-dll-and-calling-them-in-python - here I am exploring an alternative]


I have downloaded, installed and activated the wolfram engine (12.0) on Windows, and I have installed the WolframClient in my Python environment.


In python I execute


from wolframclient.language import wl
from wolframclient.evaluation import WolframLanguageSession

kernelLoc = 'C:\\Program Files\\Wolfram Research\\Wolfram Engine\\12.0\\WolframKernel.exe'
session = WolframLanguageSession(kernelLoc)
session.evaluate(wl.StringReverse('abc'))

and the result is 'cba' proving that the integration is working.


I have a workbook that contains all my (valid) compilable functions.


Question: how do I load & evaluate that notebook and call the compiled functions? (I could use a package file instead if that would help)


I have not (yet) found the answer by reference to the Wolfram Client documentation


Side issue: I recall that setting up my MMA 11.0.1.0 to work with Visual Studio 2017 for C compilation was... tricky. Does the Wolfram Engine have independent setup and if so how do I apply the working config for compilation from MMA to WE? Of course, if I can load the required notebook and it just works then this becomes redundant, but... expect the not-to-be-unexpected is my motto for development.


Update



Loading a Notebook requires FrontEnd, which is not available; I tried to import using NotebookImport, passing a filename and using "Input" as the style filter but also to no avail


using


nbPath = 'A:\\My Documents\\...\\ctXi_WolframEngine.nb'
mynb = session.evaluate(wl.NotebookImport(nbPath,'Input'))
mynb

I got this, which is clearly not helpful


(HoldComplete[None],
 HoldComplete[None],
 HoldComplete[None],

 HoldComplete[None],
 Failure['InterpretationFailure', {'CellStyle': 'Input', 'ContentData': BoxData, 'Cell': RawBoxes[Cell[BoxData['~'], 'Input', Rule[CellChangeTimes, (3771391298.009615,)]]]}],
 HoldComplete[None],
...

Note that the notebook works perfectly well in Mathematica itself.



Answer



Provided that $Path contains an appropriate path to a package CTMisc.m the following works


session.evaluate(wlexpr('Needs["CTMisc`"]'))


Then I was able to successfully call a function yyyymmddhhmmssmsDateString[milliseconds_] defined in that package


t = session.evaluate(wlexpr('yyyymmddhhmmssmsDateString[3407800000]'))
print(t)

One must be careful with the expression of strings: contexts as strings are usually written as "MyContext`" in Mathematica. I had a problem when I was trying to be too literal and declared


pkgName = '"MyContext`"'

Specified correctly one can also write e.g.



session.evaluate(wl.Get("MyContext`"))

The following function was defined in the package:


compiledTestFunction = 
Compile[{{n, _Real}, {m, _Real}},
    Module[{},
        Return[n * m]
    ];
    CompilationTarget->"C", "RuntimeOptions"->"Speed"];


After Get-ting the package we define the Python function and then execute


compiledTestFunctionPython = session.function('compiledTestFunction')
compiledTestFunctionPython(2.0, 7.0)

and the result is as expected, 14.0


Conclusion: Wolfram Engine on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 worked out of the box for C compilation on this MWE.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
