AltTabPy – lightweight and straightforward alternative to TabPy

Do you want to add some Python scripting to your Tableau visualization but struggle with How to Configure TabPy documentation? Take a look at AltTabPy – https://alttabpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html.

What TabPy is – Python script execution engine you can connect Tableau in the same way as you do for TabPy. Its installation and startup are extremely straightforward and simple, more details here – https://alttabpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#installing.

What TabPy is not – it does not support models (deployed functions), authentication, SSL, logging and other configuration and backward compatibility with older TabPy versions. Read here for more details on how AtlTabPy is different – https://alttabpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/comparison.html.

AltTabPy is not supported by Tableau and is an independent project which (partially) implements TabPy API v1. The project itself is located on GitHub – https://github.com/innobi/AltTabPy.
