Arc can execute Python scripts and retrieve the results in a plugin. There are two main advantages of using Arc to execute your Python scripts:

More information about this in the following article:

The MDX plugin has been replaced with the MDX Lab. In addition to everything the MDX plugin did, the MDX Lab introduces two new features:

1. Code Formater for MDX

2. Hit CTRL+SPACE to access MDX snippets and functions

A complete list of all enhancements and fixes can be found in the Arc & Slice v3.5 Release Notes (v3.5.0.md).

Arc & Slice are free to download and includes a three-month “no strings attached” trial license.
