What Is Python Sdk

Python SDK is a full, backwards incompatible rewrite of the deprecated cartodb-python SDK. Since the initial rewrite, Python SDK has been loaded with a lot of new features, not present in old cartodb-python. To understand the fundamentals of Python SDK, read the guides.

What is Python SDK used for?

The primary purpose of the SDK is to provide an easy-to-use Python environment enabling developers to authenticate a user, retrieve data, and upload data/results from their own analysis to BaseSpace.

Is an SDK a library?

SDKs have a wider scope than libraries do. In fact, all SDKs will contain one or more libraries. An SDK is a collection of libraries, APIs, documentation, utilities, and/or sample code that help you implement certain features without having to do the work from scratch.
