SPKs for Python packages

You can distribute Python packages by using the Spotfire SPK mechanism for either Spotfire Server installation running on Windows OS, or Spotfire Server installation running on a Linux OS.

An SPK containing packages must be created using the operating system that the node manager runs under.

• If your node manager is running on a Windows server, then you can create the SPK containing Python packages from a Windows computer running Spotfire Analyst, or you can create the SPK from the computer running the node manager where Spotfire Service for Python is installed.
• If your node manager is running on a Linux server, then you must create the SPK containing Python packages from the Linux computer that is running the node manager where Spotfire Service for Python is installed.

This section provides instruction for creating an SPK for both of those cases.

• Creating an SPK for Python Packages from Spotfire Analyst on Windows
  An installation of Spotfire Analyst includes a Python interpreter and a set of packages to enable using Python in Spotfire.
• Installing the 'spotfire' package on a Linux computer
  Before you create an SPK to deploy on a Linux computer where Spotfire Service for Python is installed, you must first install the 'spotfire' package that is included in the download bundle .whl file, along with Spotfire Service for Python.
• Creating an SPK for Python Packages on the node manager
  An installation of Spotfire Service for Python on the node manager includes a Python interpreter and a set of packages to enable using Python in Spotfire.
