Python Scripting
================
The python scripting panel allows the management of python scripts and extensions.
Overview

The python shell
You can open the python scripting panel from the window menu. It offers both an interactive ``REPL`` and a window that can open and run scripts and display the output. The editor has limited auto-complete and error checking, though for complex scripts editing in an external IDE is recommended.
A number of included example scripts are included for running to demonstrate use of the python APIs that RenderDoc exposes.
The full :doc:`python API <../python_api/index>` documentation contains a guide on how to get started with writing python scripts and UI extensions.
To get started the :code:`pyrenderdoc` object corresponds to a :class:`~qrenderdoc.CaptureContext` object through which the internal API and UI windows can be obtained.
For Qt integration, if available, you can import :code:`PySide2` which provides python bindings for the Qt API.
