Project Properties in python?

Yea, sure. All you need is the client or designer context.

However, the way that you get the context in Python scripting is a bit hacky and unsupported. That’s why I just made a feature request to provide supported functions for getting the client/designer/gateway context: inductiveautomation.com/forum/vi … 71&t=11563

Here’s how you can get a client or designer context so you can get the default database name and polling rate etc. in Python. (yay Python!!!).

Throw this in an event handler somewhere:

def getContext(event):
   import system
   comp = event.source
   if system.util.getSystemFlags() & system.util.DESIGNER_FLAG:
      from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer import IgnitionDesigner
      while not isinstance(comp,IgnitionDesigner):      
         comp = comp.parent
      context = comp.getContext()
   else:
      from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.runtime import ClientPanel
      while not isinstance(comp,ClientPanel):
         comp = comp.parent
      context = comp.getClientContext()
   return context

context = getContext(event)

defaultDatasourceName = context.getDefaultDatasourceName()
pollRate = context.getTagPollRate()

print defaultDatasourceName, pollRate

By the way I look forward to meeting you at the next Ignition conference.
