Advanced Usage

If you want to integrate Dantalian into other scripts, frameworks, or programs, you should use Dantalian’s Python library instead of calling the dantalian command line script.

Comprehensive documentation of Dantalian’s Python library can be found in (and is) the source code.

What follows is a quick rundown of basic usage.

Generally, you will use open_library in dantalian.library to load the library as a Python object, then call the methods on the library object that correspond to Dantalian commands. More advanced scripting and/or optimization will require digging deeper into the source code (and, likely, having to write a bit of stuff yourself).
