Das Element Python API

Das Element Python API

Official Python API for the Das Element asset library software.

---

🧩 Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install daselement-api

---

⚙️ Configuration

The API internally calls the command-line interface (CLI) version of Das Element.
To ensure it works correctly, link the CLI executables by setting the following environment variables:

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
DASELEMENT_CLI	Path to Das Element CLI executable
DASELEMENT_CLI_FULL	Path to Das Element CLI full executable

export DASELEMENT_CLI=/path/to/das-element
export DASELEMENT_CLI_FULL=/path/to/das-element-full

Alternative Configuration

Directly define the executable paths in your Python script. Overwrite the values of daselement_api/manager.py like this:

from daselement_api import manager as de_manager

de_manager.EXECUTABLE_CLI = '/path/to/das-element-cli_2.2.2_lin'
de_manager.EXECUTABLE_CLI_FULL = '/path/to/das-element-cli-full_2.2.2_lin'

---

🧠 Example Usage

from daselement_api import api as de

libraries = de.get_libraries()

for library, config in libraries.items():
    print(library)
    print(config)
