You need to create a Stored Process in SAS Management Console, and assign it to use the Stored Process Server (not Workspace Server). Ensure it has the 'streaming output' checkbox selected.

The SAS code behind this Stored Process should then send the output (that you wish to receive from your python program) to the _webout fileref, eg:

data _null_;
  file _webout;
  put 'Hello python!';
run;

The %stpbegin and %stpend macros should NOT be used.

To reference the Stored Process just call the URL with your Stored Process name & path in the _program parameter, as follows:

http://[yourMachineName]:8080/SASStoredProcess/do?_PROGRAM=/Your/MetadataPath/YourSTPName

Easiest is to use the SAS Stored Process Web App. It allows you to call a stored process via URL. You should read (http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/stpug/68399/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0mbwll43n6sw3n1jhcfnx51i8ze.htm).

From there, use the Python requests library.
