Simply run:

pip install prismic

You can find out how to get started with prismic.io on our prismic.io developer's portal.

Also on our prismic.io developer's portal, on top of our full documentation, you will:

• get a thorough introduction of how to use prismic.io kits, including this one.
• see what else is available for Python: starter projects, examples, ...

You can find the documentation of the Python kit right here: http://prismic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Here is a basic example of use:

>>> import prismic
>>> api = prismic.get("http://your-lesbonneschoses.prismic.io/api", "access_token")
>>> form = api.form("everything")

>>> # Set the ref and the query to get all documents of type "product"
>>> form.ref(api.get_master()).query("""[[:d = any(document.type, ["product"])]]""")

>>> response = form.submit()
>>> response.documents[0].get_text("product.name")

By default, the kit will use Shelve to cache the requests (a file-based cache from the standard library). It is recommended to use a cache server instead, for example Memcached.

You can pass a Memcached client to the prismic.get call:

>>> import memcache
>>> api = prismic.get("http://your-lesbonneschoses.prismic.io/api", "access_token", memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211']))

By duck typing you can pass any object that implement the set and get methods (see the NoCache object for the methods to implement).

By default, the kit will use a request handler based on the popular package requests. If you, for some reason, wants to use a custom request handler, such as URLFetch (if you use Google AppEngine), for example. You can pass a function to the prismic.get call, this way:

>>> import prismic
>>> import urllib2
>>> def custom_request_handler(full_url):
...     r = urllib2.urlopen(full_url)
...     return r.getcode(), r.read(), r.info()
...
>>> api = prismic.get("http://your-lesbonneschoses.prismic.io/api", "access_token", request_handler=custom_request_handler)

By duck typing you can pass any function that receives a URL and return a tuple containing status code, content and the headers of the response.

Need to see what changed, or to upgrade your kit? We keep our changelog on this repository's "Releases" tab.

Contribution is open to all developer levels, read our "Contribute to the official kits" documentation to learn more.

This kit gets installed like any Python library.
