Python in Design Studio

[Former Member]

My company will be rolling out design studio in about a year and I've been told that to use it effectively you need to know JavaScript. I'm a Python developer. Does Design Studio work with Python as well?

Hi Jeff,

I realize this question is old but I don't think you are really comparing apples to oranges with this scenario. Javascript works well because it can be easily embedded into HTML to extend the functionality that appears in a client browser, which is why it "works with Design Studio." You wouldn't really use Python in that fashion.

As far as I'm aware there are no Python APIs to programmatically develop design studio applications. The only farfetched thing I could see you doing with Python and Design Studio is perhaps calling shared design studio libraries on your computer, but I can't see that really being a viable thing to do at any point.

It depends on what you are doing with Design Studio and how much customization is needed. You can build Design Studio applications with no programming knowledge, using the templates. There are a lot of Internet resources on JavaScript, if you find you need it.

As for Python, I assume others have used it for things like this:
