Is there any way to get Python to access SPSS's value of seq each time so that the string concatenation will create the correct COMPUTE? Or am I just thinking about this incorrectly? Python's value of seq doesn't change, so I end up with SPSS code that gives me only two variables ( COM1thWidth and COM1Hgt), into which COMDigit1Width, COMDigit2Width, etc. It's clear what's wrong here: the value of seq in the first COMPUTE command doesn't get back to Python, so that the right thing can happen in the next two COMPUTEcommands. Spss.Submit('COMPUTE COM' + indices + 'thHgt = COMDigit' + i + 'Hgt.') Spss.Submit('COMPUTE COM' + indices + 'thWidth = COMDigit' + i + 'Width.') Spss.Submit('COMPUTE seq = COMDigit' + i + 'Seq.') Here's a Python program I wrote to do within SPSS what ought to be a very simple computation, but it runs into a sort of namespace problem: BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON. In particular I want a new variables with the height and width of the first digit written, then the height and width of the second, etc., as SPSS vars I find I now need the information organized a little differently as well. I have a database where each case holds info about handwritten digits, eg:ĭigit1Seq : when in the sequence of 12 digits the '1' was drawn
