KE-chain Python SDK

About pykechain

pykechain is a python library for advanced users and KE-chain configurations to connect and interact fully to all features of KE-chain, the engineering platform of KE-works. With it you can interact with KE-chain, its product information model (PIM), its workflow information model (WIM) and many other aspects of KE-chain from python scripts or iPython / Jupyter notebooks.

It requires normal user access to a KE-chain (version 2) instance for it to work.

Basic usage

Ensure you have member access to a KE-chain instance and login:

from pykechain import Client
kec = Client(url='https://kec2api.ke-chain.com')
kec.login(username='demo_user', password='pastaplease')

Now interact with it:

project = kec.scope('Bike Project')
for part in project.parts():
    print(part.name)
