User-developed commands and scripts

Because vShell was developed using the Python programming language, you can extend vShell with Python, creating commands and scripts.

Python requirements for extending vShell

The guidelines for using Python to modify your vShell implementation are as follows:
  • Although previous experience in Python programming is helpful, experience in other high-level languages is enough to get you started.
  • To help decide which editor or integrated development environment (IDE) to use, refer to http://www.python.org.
  • The supported version of Python is 2.7.
