pywwt Package

The toplevel pywwt package contains only a few miscellaneous types.

Almost all usage of pywwt goes through a variable, conventionally named wwt, that refers to a subclass of the BaseWWTWidget class exported by this module. The way that you obtain this variable depends on the context in which you’re running your Python code:

• In a JupyterLab environment (most recommended), use pywwt.jupyter.connect_to_app

• In a plain Jupyter notebook, create an instance of pywwt.jupyter.WWTJupyterWidget

• In a Qt desktop application, create an instance of pywwt.qt.WWTQtClient

• To control an instance of the WWT Windows application, use the unmaintained pywwt.windows module.

Functions
