We have posted the recording and the many great Dynamo and Python resources Sol Amour shared i the Community Conversation.
Come dive into the world of Python inside of Dynamo with Jacob and Sol and explore how this powerful scripting language interacts with the Dynamo environment. You will understand the difference between engines (IronPython vs. CPython) and releases, how to access the authoring environment and all the power that this node brings you, how to leverage intellisense and directory searching as well as how the .NET language of many of our hosts (Like Revit) interacts with Python.
