| Welcome to using Phidgets with Python! By using Python, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
| |
| | |
| The terminal is the default environment to make Python programs in macOS, since it's available immediately after installing Python.

| ==Use our Examples==
| |
| One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. Before we get started, make sure you have read [[#Install Phidget Python module for macOS| how to install the Phidget Python module]] section above.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Now that you have Python and the Phidget Python module installed, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
| |
| *{{SampleCode|Python|Python Examples}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| Open the terminal at the location of the example and enter the following command:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
| |
| python example.py
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Ensure that PhidgetHelperFunctions.py is in the same folder as the example.

| ==Setting Up a New Script==
| |
| When you are building a script from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing script, you'll need to configure your program to properly link the Phidget Python library.
| |
| | |
| To include the Phidget Python library, add the following imports to your code:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang=python>
| |
| from Phidget22.PhidgetException import *
| |
| from Phidget22.Phidget import *
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Then, you will also have to import the class for your particular Phidget. For example, you would include the following line for a DigitalInput:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang=python>
| |
| from Phidget22.Devices.DigitalInput import *
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| The script now has access to Phidgets.
