Installation

Glitter sdk is in the Python Package Index. This tutorial walks you through how to set up glitter-sdk-py for local development.

The glitter Python Driver depends on:

  1. Python 3.5+

  2. A recent Python 3 version of pip

  3. A recent Python 3 version of setuptools

Installing with pip

We recommend using pip to install glitter_sdk on all platforms:

$ python3 -m pip install glitter_sdk

To get a specific version of glitter:

$ python3 -m pip install glitter_sdk=0.1.2

To upgrade using pip:

$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade glitter_sdk

Dependencies

You can install all dependencies automatically with the following command:

$ python3 -m pip install glitter_sdk[requests]

Installing from source

If you’d rather install directly from the source (i.e. to stay on the bleeding edge), install the C extension dependencies then check out the latest source from GitHub and install the driver from the resulting tree:

$ git clone https://github.com/glitternetwork/glitter-sdk-py glitter-sdk-py
$ cd glitter-sdk-py/
$ python3 setup.py install
