C++ Integration

This package is primarily focused on integrating with the WebAssembly version of Perspective. To build the C++ side, install perspective-python[table], from the Perspective main library.

Webserver Integration

perspective-pyton can be integrated with a webserver, giving you the ability to configure perspective-viewers in javascript from python. Right now this functionality is limited to tornado webservers and the perspective-phosphor frontend. It relies on the phosphor-perspective-utils javascript package.

import tornado.web
from perspective import PerspectiveHTTPMixin


class MyHandler(PerspectiveHTTPMixin, tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        super(MyHandler, self).loadData(data=<data>, transfer_as_arrow=True)
        self.write(super(MyHandler, self).getData())
