Anaconda® Python Distribution

Anaconda® is a free and open-source distribution of Python. It also includes a package manager and Jupyter Notebook. Jupyter Notebook is an application that enables you to interact with a running Python program (provide input and observe output).

All Microchip Secure Products Group products are interfaced through the CryptoAuthLib (CAL) library. Python CrytoAuthLib (pyCAL) is the same exact library wrapped up for Python. As a result, all current and future Microchip Secure Products Group products are supported through either embedded C code (CAL) or high-level Python code (pyCAL). All interactive tools are built on top of pyCAL.
