# Veilid Bindings for Python
Create an application in Python using the distributed [Veilid](https://veilid.com) framework for app-to-app communication.
## Prerequisites
* A headless Veilid node must be installed on the same host as the Python application. Install instructions can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid/-/blob/main/INSTALL.md)
* Veilid Python makes heavy use of async and other bleeding edge functions requiring Python version >= 3.12.5
## Install
```
poetry add veilid
```
or
```
pip3 install veilid
```
## Development
To run tests:
```shell
poetry run pytest -v -s
```
To update schema for validation with the latest copy from a locally running `veilid-server`:
```shell
./update_schema.sh
```
## Basic Veilid App Setup
A demo chat application is available to review [here](https://gitlab.com/veilid/python-demo).
