Python SDK Install Guide

Installing the SDK

Windows

  1. Make sure to download Python 2.7 32 bits,
  2. Run the installer.

Mac

  1. Choose between these 2 options:
  • Use the Python 2.6 that comes by default with MacOS, with the python-2.6 SDK.
  • Or, install Python 2.7 32/64 bits from Python.org. You can find the installer here: http://python.org/download/
  1. Set the environnement variable PYTHONPATH to /path/to/python-sdk

Linux

  1. Choose between these 2 options:
  • If you are running Ubuntu Lucid to Maverick, use the python-2.6 package,
  • for Ubuntu Natty and later, use the python-2.7 packages
  1. Set the environnement variable PYTHONPATH to /path/to/python-sdk

Checking the installation of the Python SDK

Windows

Run the default IDE (IDLE) that comes with the python installer.

Mac

If you choose to use the Python2.7 from python.org:

  1. Make sure to use /usr/local/bin/python
  2. Try to run:
import naoqi

Linux

Simply run:

import naoqi

If you do not get any error message, congratulations ! You are now ready to use the Python SDK.

If you do get an error message, please see Troubleshooting section

Note for previous 1.10 users

Previously, 1.10 users did not have a separate Python SDK and had to set PYTHONPATH to naoqi/sdk/lib.

This method will not work anymore, (unless you are very lucky), so please do use the new Python SDK.
