Autoprotocol Python Language Library

To make writing Autoprotocol easier, there is a Python language library that allows you to build protocols using Python.

Setup

Since the Autoprotocol Python library is updated frequently, it is recommended that you clone the repository from Github and pull changes every so often. Installing the autoprotocol-python library requires you make a Github account.

Once you have one, clone the autoprotocol-python repo into your desired directory:

git clone https://github.com/autoprotocol/autoprotocol-python.git

from there, navigate to the folder just created and run setup.py to install

$ cd autoprotocol-python
$ python setup.py install

you may need to use sudo before the install command depending on your system

Another way to install the Python library is using pip install autoprotocol. This assumes that you have Python and therefore pip installed.
