MapInfo Pro now supports writing add-ins in the Python language. This allows developers to take advantage of the Python language and its existing libraries/modules when writing MapInfo Pro add-ins. Python, with its feature rich set of libraries, is a very popular platform for Data Analysis and Visualization. We have provided Python developers and data analysts an easier way to work with MapInfo data by providing access to MapInfo Pro table data. While you can make use of any of the libraries and functionality available to Python, the ability to perform data analysis on MapInfo Pro table attribute data using the rich set of available data analysis tools (for example, Pandas, SciPy, Matplotlib, etc.) adds more capabilities and functionalities to existing ones.
For details, see Using Python Language under Creating an Add-in in the MapInfo Pro Extensibility Reference Guide.
