Creating an instance of InstantTerra API¶

What is an “instance” ?¶

An instance is an access to InstantTerra software. It controls InstantTerra with the Python script.

The Python code can be executed with the command prompt or by running a Python script.

# Import InstantTerra class from the wysilab package
from wysilab import InstantTerra

# Start the instance
it = InstantTerra()

Initially, we need to import the class InstantTerra from the package wysilab.

Once done, create the instance : it = InstantTerra().

Tip

This example uses a variable named it, but you can use any name that is not a Python keyword (i.e. instant = InstantTerra()).

The instance is fully initialized when the InstantTerra window is open.

# Close the instance
it.close()

To close our instance correctly, simply call the method close().

This closes the InstantTerra window automatically.
