Python - Installation

Installation of the Python binding #

Please read this introductory page before proceeding.

If you retrieve the examples from https://github.com/epeios-q37/atlas-python, you have nothing else to install.

If you want to start from scratch, there are two possibilities.

You can install install the atlastk package from PyPI (Pypi package of the Atlas toolkit) with, for example, following command: pip install atlastk.

Alternatively, you can download https://github.com/epeios-q37/atlas-python/raw/master/atlastk.zip and:

  • put, in your source file, before importing the atlastk module (import atlastk), the following line: __import__("sys").path.append("<path to>/atlastk.zip") (ex., if the atlastk.zip file is in the directory from which you launch your Python program: __import__("sys").path.append("./atlastk.zip"));
  • or add the downloaded file in the default search path for Python modules by updating the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
