Automate and extend#

Use this topic when you want SAMSON to do more for you with less repeated manual work. It covers Python automation inside SAMSON on one side, and extension installation or development on the other. Follow the full sequence if you are exploring both, or jump directly to the track that matches your goal.

Who this topic is for#

  • Users automating repetitive tasks
  • Users embedding Python scripts in documents
  • Users managing extensions
  • Developers exploring the SDK and extension distribution path

What you will be able to do afterward#

  • Use the integrated Python environment
  • Manage packages and run scripts
  • Embed scripts or apps in documents
  • Add or remove extensions
  • Understand the SDK and extension development path
  1. Scripting - Start here if you want automation, reproducibility, or document-embedded Python workflows inside SAMSON. Foundational.
  2. Extending SAMSON - Continue here when you want to install more capabilities or understand the SDK and extension distribution path. Task-focused.

Read this first#

Start with Scripting if you want automation inside SAMSON. If your immediate goal is to add capabilities or understand the SDK path, jump straight to Extending SAMSON.

You can skip this for now if...#

  • You are not writing Python or embedding scripts, in which case you can skip Scripting
  • You only need built-in capabilities and are not managing extensions, in which case you can skip Extending SAMSON

Suggested paths#

Where to go next#

  • Simulate and analyze - Continue here for scripted modeling, path generation, or analysis pipelines.
  • Share and collaborate - Go here when you want to distribute scripted documents or collaborate around them.
  • Reference and help - Continue here for deeper references, troubleshooting, or related help paths.
