Gen3 SDK for Python (w/ CLI)

The Gen3 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python provides classes and functions for handling common tasks when interacting with a Gen3 commons. It also exposes a Command Line Interface (CLI).

The API for a commons can be overwhelming, so this SDK/CLI aims to simplify communication with various microservices.

The docs here contain general descriptions of the different pieces of the SDK and example scripts. For detailed API documentation, see the link below:
