# Introduction

The Python SDK can be found in our speckle-py repo (opens new window), its readme contains instructions on how to build it. It's compatible with Python 3.6+.

# Installation

You can install it using pip

pip install specklepy
1

# Key Components

SpecklePy has three main parts:

  1. a SpeckleClient which allows you to interact with the server API
  2. operations and transports for sending and receiving large objects
  3. a Base object and accompanying serializer for creating and customising your own Speckle objects

# Local Data Paths

It may be helpful to know where the local accounts and object cache dbs are stored. Depending on on your OS, you can find the dbs at:

  • Windows: APPDATA or <USER>\AppData\Roaming\Speckle
  • Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME or by default ~/.local/share/Speckle
  • Mac: ~/.config/Speckle
