From In-House to Open Source: The Journey of PyHPCC - Amila de Silva, Rohith Podugu, LexisNexis Risk Solutions

PyHPCC is a Python package and wrapper built around the HPCC Systems web services that facilitates communication between Python and HPCC Systems. It was originally developed as a LexisNexis Risk Solutions internal-only tool to automate repetitive work done on HPCC Systems. Since the evangelization of PyHPCC began in 2022, there has been growing interest across the organization and the broader HPCC Systems community to adopt PyHPCC.

During this time, we have received feedback from our internal users on ways to enhance PyHPCC. In response to this feedback, we have made substantial improvements to PyHPCC, focusing on usability, maintenance, documentation and contribution guidelines. These enhancements ensure that the tool is user-friendly and easy to maintain and extend.

We are excited to announce that, with these enhancements, we are now ready to make PyHPCC open-source and available to the wider HPCC Systems community. By open-sourcing PyHPCC, we aim to foster a collaborative environment where community members can contribute to and benefit from PyHPCC. In this talk, we will cover the journey of PyHPCC from its inception to its current status as an open-source tool. We will discuss the challenges faced, the feedback received, and the enhancements made. Furthermore, we will outline the process for contributing to PyHPCC and our vision for its future development.
