pykechain 3.18.0

KE-chain Python SDK

About pykechain

pykechain is a python library for advanced users of KE-chain. It will enable users to connect and fully interact to all features of KE-chain, the digital verification and high tech systems design platform of KE-works. With it you can interact with KE-chain, its parts, projects, activities and all other aspects of KE-chain from within python scripts or iPython / Jupyter notebooks.

It requires a normal user access to a KE-chain (version 3) instance for it to work.

Note

This version of pykechain (> 3.0.0) is suited from KE-chain versions > 3 (or > v2021) running on python >= 3.6 exclusively. If you desire to connect to an older version of KE-chain or run on python 2.7, please use a pykechain v2 release. Put in the requirements pykechain~=2.7.

Basic usage

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

from pykechain import Client
kec = Client(url='https://<domain>.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)
