[Application] How to add the CloudShell Python API to PyCharm IDE

[Quali-Community]

The PyCharm IDE we recommend for developing Python drivers/shell/scripts for CloudShell does not, of course, come pre-loaded with our Python API.

So to simply add this in order to allow the Python API calls to be run from outside CloudShell:

1. Access the Settings panel using the keyboard combination: CTRL + ALT + S
2. In the Settings Panel, select Project Interpreter on the left and click on the + symbol highlighted below.
   
3. You can then search in the resulting windowAvailable Packagesfor by typing "cloudshell"
4. Select the automation api and install
5. Click on OK
6. If you want to upload the Python to CloudShell, the simplest way to do this is to follow the article and install the specially developed PyCharm plugin

   Hope this helps,

Python is also one of CloudShell execution server components.

So if the IDE installed on the same PC where the execution server installed - you can point the IDE to work with the built-in Python library

- there you find all the required packages.
