The topic

The recent release of InterSystems IRIS 2021.2 brings Embedded Python functionality and also extends PEX to Python. We invite you to use Embedded Python in a new programming contest! Applications that use Native API for Python or PEX for Python are welcomed too.

Submit an open-source application that uses either Embedded Python or Native API for Python or Python PEX for Python with InterSystems IRIS or InterSystems IRIS for Health.

General Requirements:

Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition or IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition.
The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.
The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
