Once Pulse is built with Python support, the easiest way to get started with the Pulse Python API is to use PyCharm.
Open The Pulse Project In PyCharm
From the initial PyCharm splash screen, choose the Open option.
Navigate to your Pulse source code folder and select the src/python folder.
Add the Pulse to your PYTHONPATH
From the File menu option, select Settings
Navigate to the Project:python option and select Project Interpreter
Ensure you have a Python interpreter selected ( one of version >= 3.6 is suggested)
Click on the Cog Icon to the right of the selected interpreter drop down, and select Show All
Next, click on the bottom icon (Folder hierarchy) of the vertically arranged buttons.
The tooltip of the button is Show paths for the selected interpreter
Add the path to your Pulse build install\bin directory
And click the many OK buttons to close out all settings windows.
Next, From the Run menu option, select the Edit Configurations... option
Select the Python option under Templates and set the Working directory field to your Pulse build install/bin folder, and hit OK
Now you can right-click any of the How-To files and Debug/Run them!
Create your own python files or modify ours, and let us know if you have any issues on our discourse forum!
