Travel Time Python SDKTravel TimePython SDK helps users find locations by journey
time rather than using ‘as the crow flies’ distance.Time-based searching gives users more opportunities for personalisation and delivers a more relevant search.UsageInstallationInstall Travel Time Python SDK in avirtualenvusingpip.virtualenvis a tool to create isolated Python
environments.virtualenvallows to install Travel Time Python SDK without needing system install permissions, and without clashing
with the installed system dependencies.Linux/Macpip3 install virtualenv
