lambdas and python #72

Closed Pippin555 closed 3 years ago

Pippin555 commented 3 years ago

not an issue, but a question:

At this moment I am half way the 'Practical Gremlin' course by Kelvin R. Lawrence. I have not yet used this provider to actually connect to ArangoDB yet. I see that for some functions I need lambda statements (for instance for regular expressions). When I try that for gremlin_python and the Gremlin Server from Tinkerpop I get the following message: "gremlin-python is not an available GremlinScriptEngine" Will I be able to use lambda statements when I have an actual connection to ArangoDB or is it not supported (like AWS Neptune) for security reasons?

If I get that correctly, this would strive to execute code inside of the database? Arangodb doesn't offer this possibility.

I am not sure where the code is executed, I see examples of Java and Python in the examples from "Practical Gremlin". Knowing this I do not need to spend time on the examples that use lambdas. There are other (but maybe less efficient) ways to get to a goal.
