The Python-SIC connector requires Python 3 (with tkinter enabled).
Make sure Python can compile native extensions (e.g. for Windows see https://www.scivision.dev/python-windows-visual-c-14-required).
You can use a Python editor of your choice (Pycharm for example).
The Python skeleton project itself can be found in the ‘python’ folder at https://bitbucket.org/socialroboticshub/connectors. It is recommended to simply download this repository or even fork it directly (which you can do using the + button at the top-left of the page). Once you have your download or cloned fork, make sure the required dependencies are installed
It is possible to install all of the dependencies by running the command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
in the foldercd python/sic pip3 install .
