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

<div class="phd-slide">
<h2>Requirements</h2>

<p>First, make sure you have the following installed:</p>

<p>● Phidgets Drivers for Linux (see Part 1 of this user guide)</p>

</div>

<div class="phd-slide">
<h2>Installing the Phidget Python Module</h2>

<p>
Python versions 2.7.9+ and 3.4+ include PIP by default. To install the Phidget22 Python module with PIP, simply open the <b>Terminal</b> and enter the command:
</p>

<div class="phd-panels">
<div class="phd-panel phd-flex-column-align-left phd-flex-column-justify-top">

<p>Python 3.x :</p>
<div class="phd-command-line"><code>pip3 install Phidget22</code></div>
</div>
</div>

<p>If you don't use PIP, follow the manual installation instructions on the next slide.</p>
</div>

<div class="phd-slide">
<h2>Installing the Phidget Python Module</h2>

<p>To install the Phidget22 Python module without PIP, you need to download it here:</p>

<p>● <span>[https://www.phidgets.com/downloads/phidget22/libraries/any/Phidget22Python.zip Phidget22 Python Module]</span></p>

<p>After unpacking the Phidget Python module, open the terminal at folder location and enter the following command:</p>

<div class="phd-command-line"><code>python setup.py install</code></div>

<p>This will build the module and install the Python module files into your site-packages directory.</p>

<div class="phd-slide">
<h2>Finding Code Samples</h2>

<p>
To find the code sample to use for your Phidget, navigate to the <span>[https://www.phidgets.com/?view=code_samples&lang=Python Code Samples]</span> page and
select your device from the drop-down menu.
</p>

<div class="phd-lazy-image" data-src="https://www.phidgets.com/decks/PT3_PYTHON_LNX_TRM/-x250/50/Python_sample_code.png"></div>

<p>Once you select your device, the code sample generator will give you a working code sample, and a selection of options to customize it to your needs.</p>
</div>

<div class="phd-slide">
<h2>Using the Code Samples</h2>

<p>Click the <b>Download Example</b> button to download a Java file with the sample code:</p>
