Back in January, I outlined an approach for sourcing model assumptions at run time using a web data source. This approach used some custom code and a third party DLL to connect to the data source endpoint and digest the response. Following the release of Mo.net 7.7 this has just become much more straightforward.

Software Alliance’s Su Berry spends 5 minutes with Cornelius Franken of CJF Consulting to discuss his experience with Mo.net and the benefits it has brought to his actuarial modelling processes.
Overriding Task Inputs from Python
As part of Mo.net 7.6, we have extended the external interface to compiled Mo.net tasks so that it now accepts a Python list. This update allows a new array of inputs to be passed from Python to the compiled Mo.net task DLL without having to create an intermediate inputs file.
