This session gives a short introduction for the usage of Python scripts in FME Desktop processes. First it will be demonstrated how to compute buildings’ roof heights at certain ground points with the PythonCaller and an external Python package. The second demo shows how to persist the FME logfile and the runtime statistics into a central database via Python shutdown script for all those who do not have a FME Server at hand (for now).
