Hi,

I am not a mumps programmer but I am interested in calling some mumps
routines. [ I want to use the va fileman api ].

Is it possible to call m routines from m_python? and if so how?

Thanks,

Kevin

Please ignore this question. I found a related module pyGTM (http://
pygtm.sourceforge.net/) and I now understand what m_python is doing.

I should be able to achieve what I want using the gtm callin
interface.

I'm not sure why you think you can't use m_python for this and need to
look elsewhere. I suggest you read the MGWSI manual that comes with
the download kit (MGWSI includes m_python and m_apache). Both include
the m_proc or ma_proc functions and m_html and ma_html procedures that
allow you to invoke back-end functions and procedures.

For convenience I've now posted a copy of the MGWSI Manual on our
website: http://gradvs1.mgateway.com/download/mgwsi_2_0_95b.pdf

See page 265 onwards for accessing back-end functions and procedures
from m_python
