====== Using the file import API ======
===== Using the Python Client =====
Follow these steps to get a Python environment for use with the import API up and running:

  - Install Python 3.x (preferably Python 3.4) [[https://www.python.org/downloads/|from here]]
  - Create a virtual environment in the directory where your application will be located: \\ <code dos>C:\mydir>c:\Python34\python.exe -m venv venv</code>
  - Activate the environment: \\ <code dos>C:\mydir>venv\Scripts\activate.bat</code>
  - Install the Lime CRM API Client from PyPi: \\ <code dos>(venv) C:\mydir>pip install limeclient</code>

==== Writing import scripts ====
The documentation for the //limeclient// library [[http://limeclient.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html|can be found here]].
