The sad answer right now is no. But we have things cooking in our labs around Python. Can you tell more about your intended usage? (your ideal integration if you want). Kind regards Antoine

Hi Antoine. Thanks heaps for your answer. The reason I intend to use Python is that I am familiar with Python tool but not R language. Anyhow, I think I need to start to learn R right now..

Hi Antoine. I am wondering if I am looking for the SVM (Support Vector Machines), there is no such algorithm in the SAP predictive. Should I use R extension?

Hi, this is available in SAP HANA at least see

Otherwise yes you can turn into R and see if SVM are available here.

As you might know we also offer Automated Techniques that makes Data Science available even to non-data scientists.

Kind regards, Antoine
