In reply to Catherine.

Hi Catherine, our customers have several reasons for this. Most commonly it's used when an org has invested in SAS to manage data and analytics, and Python developers in the same org need to access that data and analytics. SASPy connects to a SAS environment to access data and code/models that are maintained in your SAS ecosystem. It opens the door for more collaboration, removing a barrier that might otherwise be present when one group works in SAS but another works in Python.
