pykechain is a python library for advanced users of KE-chain. It will enable users to connect and fully interact to all features of KE-chain, the digital verification and high tech systems design platform of KE-works. With it you can interact with KE-chain, its parts, projects, forms, workflows, activities, scripts and all other aspects of KE-chain from within python scripts or iPython / Jupyter notebooks.

It requires a normal user access to a KE-chain (version 3) instance for it to work.

Ensure you have member access to a KE-chain instance and login:

from pykechain import Client
kec = Client(url='https://<domain>.ke-chain.com')
kec.login(username='demo_user', password='pastaplease')

Now interact with it:

project = kec.scope('Bike Project')
for part in project.parts():
    print(part.name)

pykechain is easily installed using pip. pykechain is Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and pypy3 compatible:

pip install pykechain

Or if you want to live on the edge, install the latest and greatest from the master branch:

pip install https://github.com/KE-works/pykechain/archive/main.zip

In scripts you can either use Pipenv or a pip requirements.txt file to install pykechain as a requirement

in a Pipfile:

[packages]
pykechain = "*"
# or when you want to install a certain branch
pykechain = {ref = "main", git = "https://github.com/KE-works/pykechain"}

in a pip requirements.txt:

pykechain
# or when you want to install a certain branch i.e. `main`
