    Hi Sylvain,


    Could you expand, on what you want to see, and what it should look like?

    There are already many different ways, to do it

    • Plain SQL, which can be executed with irissqlcli

    • DBT, more complex SQL with templates, and transformations

    • SQLAlchemy based applications

    • Django applications

    Choose any of these ways, all of them use Python to connect to IRIS
