Assette will soon block the ability to use Python “import” feature, and our clients are advised not to use this feature in any of their python data blocks. Instead, use Configuration Data Block, as shown in CalculationEnv Configuration Data Block.
Restricted Data Block Keywords & Built-in Functions #
Keywords are core language constructs handled by the parser. These words are reserved and cannot be used as identifiers. For more information regarding on Python Keywords, please consult official documentation. Likewise, Built-ins are a list of commonly used preloaded functions, constants, types, and exceptions.

The following keywords are prohibited within Data Blocks:
| Prohibited Python Keyword | Notes |
