I am using Scikit-Learn and Pandas libraries of Python for Data Analysis. How to interface Python with data visualization tools such as Qlikview?

There's no straightforward route to calling Python from QlikView. I have used this:

  1. Create a Python program that outputs CSV (or any file format that QlikView can read)
  2. Invoke your Python program from the QlikView script: EXEC python3 my_program.py > my_output.csv
  3. Read the output into QlikView: LOAD * FROM my_output.csv (...)

Note that the EXEC command requires the privilege "Can Execute External Programs" on the Settings tab of the script editor.
