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: Python SDK - Troubleshooting.

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.
