• Free Developer Sandbox

• Python 2.7+

This open-source SDK is provided for cases where you would like to make additional changes that the SDK does not provide out-of-the-box. If you simply want to use the SDK with any of the examples shown in the Developer Center, follow the installation instructions below.

1. Locate your Python installation, also referred to as a site-packages folder. This folder is usually labeled in a format of Python{VersionNumber}.

Examples:

• Unix/Linux: /usr/lib/python2.7
• Mac: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
• Windows: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37

1. Add the path to your Python folder as an environment variable.

Unix/Linux:

• Type the following command into your console:
  export PYTHONPATH = "${PYTHONPATH}:.:/path/to/site-packages"
• Optionally, you can add this command to your system profile, which will run the command each time Python is launched.

Windows:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Under the System and Security category, open the System
3. Select Advanced System Settings to open the System Properties dialog box.
4. On the Advanced tab, select the Environmental Variables button at the lower-right corner.
   1. Check if PYTHONPATH has been added as a system variable.
   2. If it has not, select New to add it. The variable you add is the path to the site-packages

Note: If you are still unable to reference python or pip via your command console,you can also add the path to the site-packages folder to the built-in environment variable labeled Path , which will take effect the next time you start your machine.

1. In your command console, type: pip install docusign-esign

Note: This may require the command console be elevated. You can accomplish this via sudoin Unix/Linux, or by running the command console as an administrator in Windows.

DocuSign provides a sample application code referred to as a Launcher. The Launcher contains a set of 31 common use cases and associated source files. These examples use either DocuSign's Authorization Code Grant or JSON Web Tokens (JWT) flows.

If your goal is to create a proof of concept application, DocuSign provides a set of Quick Start examples. The Quick Start examples are meant to be used with DocuSign's OAuth Token Generator, which will allow you to generate tokens for the Demo/Sandbox environment only. These tokens last for eight hours and will enable you to build your proof-of-concept application without the need to fully implement an OAuth solution.

For details regarding which type of OAuth grant will work best for your DocuSign integration, see the REST API Authentication Overview guide located on the DocuSign Developer Center.

For security purposes, DocuSign recommends using the Authorization Code Grant flow.
