Dear All,

I am writing python code which uses machine learning algorithm like LSTM to forecast the future stock data. The entire code is developed in Jupyter notebook. So the extension of file in ipynb.

Is there any node or a way I can run this code in node-red.

Thanks & Regards  
Varun

Hi Varun,  
Have you searched the forum? I don't use python, but the forum is full of python related stuff...  
E.g. [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/python-function-node-unicodedecodeerror/34986/3).

The easier (imho) way would be to either use an exec node to call your program and get the result back, or a daemon node if its a long running app that needs to be fed data.

Hello, one thing you can try is the pythonshell node found here:

> **[node-red-contrib-pythonshell](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-pythonshell)**
>
> nodes used to interact with python processes

You just need to give it the path to your file in the Py file field (for example; /Users/namtrang/main.py ). I am not sure if it runs ipynb extension, though. However, from your jupyter notebook, you can save as .py instead of .ipynb and the code works the same from what I have tried before, so it will hopefully do what you need.

Thanks for your response,

When I use below code in python shell in windows machine I am getting an error exit code: -4058.  
location of python in my windows looks to be correct as where is showing below path in windows

C:\Users\CQUGSR\>where python  
C:\Python38\python.exe  
C:\Users\CQUGSR\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

Now I am able to run the python scripts using exec node.

In my script I am using pandas. It showing an error saying pandas not found. But I could able to execute and test my complete logic in Juypyter notebook.

Can any one suggest me how to include Pandas and test in node red

Error message:  
Command failed: python C:\Varun\Test\LSTM\_FC-s30-test.py 1604277501039Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Varun\Test\LSTM\_FC-s30-test.py", line 15, in import pandas as pdModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

Thanks & Regards

Does that command run if you run it from the command line?

In command line also it is giving warning but execution completes. Looks like in node-red it is stooping the execution

I am not sure it is stopping because of "newline" option not supported in python 2.7.17. I have an constraint of not upgrading to latest version of python too.

data = [['S10']]

# opening the csv file in 'w+' mode

file = open('S10.csv', 'w+', newline ='')  
write = csv.writer(file)  
write.writerows(data)

# writing the data into the file

with file:  
write = csv.writer(file)  
write.writerows(data\_FC)

I note that you have opened another thread with a similar problem. Does that mean that this one is fixed?

Yes You are right..Using execute node solved the problem
