Python SDK for Common Data Model.

Note: These instructions were verified on Windows. For Mac, the steps might change a bit.

1. Download Python 3.5.4 x86-64 executable installer from python.org.
2. Run the installer. Make sure 'Add Python 3.5 to PATH' checkbox is ticked during installation.
3. Open command prompt, change to the cloned repository folder and type python -m venv env to create a virtual Python environment.
4. Make sure that you have Visual Studio Code installed. Type code . to open the folder in Visual Studio Code.
5. In Visual Studio Code, install the Python extension for VS Code.
6. Select Python: Create Terminal command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). From the terminal, type pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install project dependencies.
7. The project requires some base files that are present in the schemaDocuments folder. Run python .\setup.py copy_resources to copy the necessary files to the project.
8. To enable debugging of sample code in VSCode, please update your launch.json file with following settings: "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", "env": { "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceRoot}" }

Note: If in step 6 on Mac you receive error mentioning TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, you need to upgrade pip with command curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3 - 'pip==9.0.3' --user, followed by pip3 install --upgrade setuptools --user. Then repeat the command to install all of the project requirements from step 6.
