Why use pypylon?

Python is a dynamic, object-oriented, multipurpose programming language. Designed to be quick to understand, learn, and use, the syntax in Python helps programmers do coding in fewer steps compared to Java, VB, C, C++, or C#. Python's extensive collection of open-source image processing libraries (e.g. Open CV), data analysis tools, web frameworks, and testing instruments makes its ecosystem one of the largest programming communities.

pypylon is a wrapper interface for the powerful Basler pylon Software Suite. It enables both new and experienced Python programmers to efficiently develop prototype applications and image processing functions, as well as test Basler cameras without setting up complex development environments. This can significantly speed up the vision system evaluation process, increase programmer productivity, and reduce overall project costs. Our Webinar explains how you can use pypylon.

pypylon & vTools - It's a match!

pylon’s vTools for high-performance image processing can also be used via the pypylon interface, allowing Python users to reduce development time. With the ability to create image processing pipelines in the pylon Viewer and precisely adapt them to a live image, you'll be able to flexibly integrate everything you need into your application.
