- Stopping a process with Execute Python now kills the already started Python process as well.
- Newly installed environments now become immediately available in Job Agent or Web Service execution without restart.
Version 9.7.1
Release date: Jun 24, 2020
Bugfixes
- Empty data set on the Execute Python input no longer throws EmptyDataError
- When a .py or .ipynb file is dropped onto the canvas from outside of Studio, the path parameter is now correctly set
- More descriptive error message is thrown if a date value outside of the allowed range of datetime is used in Execute Python instead of "Python int too large to convert to C long"

Version 9.7.0
Release date: Jun 3, 2020
When upgrading RapidMiner Server to version 9.7 or later, you must also update the Python Scripting Extension to version 9.7.
New Features
- As the new repositories support storing arbitrary files, support for dragging and dropping .py and .ipynb files to the canvas has been introduced. RapidMiner Studio will take care of creating the necessary operators.
- Note: no adjustments are made to the code when dragging and dropping, so users still need to take care of creating the rm_main function so the code will get executed properly. A run-time error will be displayed if this is not done.
Enhancements
- Added support for projects, so the rapidminer Python library can function correctly.
Bugfixes
- Optional hidden parameter (
rapidminer.python_scripting.shell_command) added to avoid potential freeze during extension initialization on Linux and macOS(default value:bash -l -i -c)
Version 9.6.0
Release date: Feb 25, 2020
New Features
- Macros are now accessible in Execute Python in an optional dict parameter. Their value can be modified in the script.
Enhancements
- Pandas 1.0+ is now supported
Bugfixes
- Array-like values in a DataFrame cell no longer cause error when the DataFrame is returned on the output
- Irrelevant potential DtypeWarning while loading an input is suppressed now
