aardvark-py 5.30.1

Total Phase Aardvark Python API

This package provides the Total Phase Aardvark Python API packaged for easy distribution and installation via PyPI.

Total Phase Release Versions

The “major.minor” component of the PyPI release version (major.minor.micro) matches the v[major.minor] version of the aardvark API release zip file. For example, the aardvark-py 5.15.0 release on PyPI is guaranteed to be API compatible with aardvark-api-[platform]-[arch]-v5.15.zip. The “micro” component is an additional version specifier that is incremented whenever a new release of this package is published on PyPI.

OS Support

The Python API from Total Phase officially supports the following OS versions:

• Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10

• Mac OS 10.5 - 10.12

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS

Since this package is derived directly from Total Phase API releases, it is subject to the same compatibility restrictions.

Python 3 Support

API version 5.30 adds support for Python 3 (previous versions only supported Python 2).

Installation

The aardvark_py package can be installed from PyPI using pip:

$ pip install aardvark_py
