python xput & xrun working differently in EViews 14?

[amrsherif]

Hello,

I have been using an addin for the past several years. It passes an EViews string to python as a list, which then gets processed and data is returned back to EViews.

I am noticing that it does not work in EViews14.

my code is simple:
xput(name=series, ptype=list) input
xrun "data = fetch_2(series)"

I am getting a "NameError: name 'series' is not defined"

I get the same error if i try: xrun "print('series')"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like XPUT's name option is being ignored. Running your XPUT command is creating an object named 'input' instead of 'series'. This does not happen in EViews 13.

We'll get this fixed.

Ok thanks. Will wait for the fix

Fix has been released in today's 14 patch.

Thanks, but there is still an issue (my script still works in older versions but not 14).

Right now, i am calling back to python objects:
xget(type=series) datalist
xget(type=alpha) dateslist

printing the objects in python works: xrun "print(datalist[0:10])"

However, I cannot use them in EVIews after calling them.
I get an error: "datalist is not defined"
