# Python plugin runtime for Skygear

When the Skygear Server calls your plugin, `py-skygear` will take the plugin message and calls the appropriate function automatically.

## Python Cloud Functions
`py-skygear` is useful for running Python Cloud Functions to work with [skygear-server](https://github.com/SkygearIO/skygear-server); `skygear-node` is the counter part of py-skygear but for Javascript.

You can read more about how to write Skygear Cloud Functions in [Skygear Guides](https://docs.skygear.io/guides/cloud-function/intro-and-deployment/python/). You don't need py-skygear if you're using skygear.io and don't plan to deploy it on your own.

## Install py-skygear

You may want to read [Setup Skygear Development Server Locally](https://docs.skygear.io/guides/advanced/server/) before installing py-skygear (and understand why you might or might not need `py-skygear`)

Install skygear by using pip. py-skygear requires Python 3.

```
$ pip3 install skygear
```

Alternatively, you can install `py-skygear` from source by cloning `py-skygear` from this official repository.

Skygear support two kind of protocol for different use case, make sure you
add support to all of them or raise appropriate exception.
