Introduction
============

The Seeq **SPy** module (short for Seeq PYthon) is a friendly set of functions that are optimized for use with
`Jupyter <https://jupyter.org>`_, `Pandas <https://pandas.pydata.org/>`_ and `NumPy <https://www.numpy.org/>`_.

The SPy module is the best choice if you're trying to do any of the following:

- Search for signals, conditions, scalars, assets, etc.
- Pull data out of Seeq
- Import data in a programmatic way (when Seeq Workbench's *CSV Import* capability won't cut it)
- Calculate new data in Python and push it into Seeq
- Create an asset model
- Create content using Workbench and Organizer templates
- Manage permissions on many items
- Run automated jobs on a regular schedule

Read the :ref:`User Guide` for walk-through descriptions of SPy, its core functions, and its submodules. If you are
looking for detailed documentation regarding a specific SPy function or class, refer to the :ref:`API Reference` or
search in the :ref:`Index <genindex>`.
