Develop Python applications
The IX10 features a standard Python 3.6 distribution. Python is a dynamic, object-oriented language
for developing software applications, from simple programs to complex embedded applications. Digi
offers the Digi IoT PyCharm Plugin to help you while writing, building, and testing your application.
See Create and test a Python application.
In addition to the standard Python library, the IX10 includes a set of extensions to access its
configuration and interfaces. See Python modules.
The IX10 provides you with the ability to:
n
Run Python applications on the device interactively or from a file.
n
Specify Python applications and other scripts to be run each time the device system restarts,
at specific intervals, or at a specified time. See Configure scripts to run automatically.
n
Use pip to install Python packages.
Note Although pip is provided to help facilitate the installation of Python packages, there are
limitations in Python package support due to package dependencies, storage limitations, and
other issues.
