InterSystems Python Contest 2023

We invite you to use Embedded Python in a new programming contest! Applications that use Native API for Python or PEX for Python are welcomed too.

Submit an open-source application that uses either Embedded Python or Native API for Python or Python PEX for Python with InterSystems IRIS or InterSystems IRIS for Health.

General Requirements:

• Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
• The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition. Both could be downloaded as host (Mac, Windows) versions from the Evaluation site, or can be used in the form of containers pulled from InterSystems Container Registry or Community Containers: intersystemsdc/iris-community:latest or intersystemsdc/irishealth-community:latest .
• The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.
• The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
