Versions and interfaces

PyEDB attempts to maintain compatibility with legacy versions of EDB while allowing for support of faster and better interfaces with the latest versions of EDB.

Currently, there is only one interface PyEDB can use to connect to EDB.

gRPC interface

The gRPC interface is under development and should be available soon.

Legacy interface

PyEDB currently connects to EDB using the native C# interface for the EDB API. You do not need to set the PYEDB_USE_DOTNET environment variable to 0 to use the legacy interface because it is the default value. Once the gRPC interface is available, to use it, simply set the PYEDB_USE_DOTNET environment variable to 1.

# Set gRPC interface (future implementation)
import os

os.environ["PYEDB_USE_DOTNET"] = "1"

# Set DotNet interface (actual implementation)
import os

os.environ["PYEDB_USE_DOTNET"] = "0"
