Welcome to using Phidgets with Python! By using Python, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
 
LiClipse is a closed-source development environment based on Eclipse, with support for 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 Windows | how to install the Phidget Python module]] section above. You will also need to download [http://www.liclipse.com/ LiClipse] if you have not already.
 
Now that you have Python and the Phidget Python module installed, as well as LiClipse, select an example that will work with your Phidget:

Next, create a new Python project:

Add the example you just downloaded by dragging it into the project:
[[Image:Python_liclipse_import.png|link=|center]]
 
Add PhidgetHelperFunctions.py to the project by dragging it into the project.
 
Finally, run the project:

If prompted, select the example file to be run:

==Setting Up a New Project==
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget Python library.
 
To start, you need to create your project as shown in the previous section.
 
To include the Phidget Python library, add the following line to your code:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=python>
from Phidget22.PhidgetException import *
from Phidget22.Phidget import *
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Then, you will also have to add a reference to your particular Phidget. For example, you would include the following line for a DigitalInput:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=python>
from Phidget22.Devices.DigitalInput import *
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The project now has access to Phidgets.
