Getting Started with Taipy Core

Supported Python versions

Taipy requires Python 3.8 or newer.

Welcome to the Getting Started Core guide for Taipy Core. This tour shows you how to use Taipy Core.

Taipy Core

Taipy Core is one of the components of Taipy to facilitate pipeline orchestration. There are a lot of reasons for using Taipy Core:

  • Taipy Core efficiently manages the execution of your functions/pipelines.

  • Taipy Core manages data sources and monitors KPIs.

  • Taipy Core provides easy management of multiple pipelines and end-user scenarios, which comes in handy in the context of Machine Learning or Mathematical optimization.

Each step of the "Getting Started Core" will focus on basic concepts of Taipy Core. Note that every step is dependent on the code of the previous one. After completing the last step, you will have the skills to develop your own Taipy application.

Before we begin

Only Taipy has to be installed. Taipy package requires Python 3.8 or newer;

$ pip install taipy

Info

pip install taipy is the preferred method to install the latest stable version of Taipy.

If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Using Notebooks

This Getting Started is for Python scripts (.py) only. If you want to use Jupyter Notebooks, download this notebook.

Taipy Studio

There are two ways to configure Taipy Core, either by Python code or with Taipy Studio. We strongly recommend using Taipy Studio.

Taipy Studio is a VS Code extension that provides a graphical editor to describe pipelines. The configuration of Taipy Core can be done more easily and quickly through Taipy Studio.

So, without further delay, let's begin to code!
