Shotgun provides a simple Python-based API for accessing Shotgun and integrating with other tools. This is the official API that is maintained by Shotgun Software (support@shotgunsoftware.com)

• Shotgun server v2.4.12 or higher for API v3.0.8+. (Earlier Shotgun versions of 2.4 will work, but have buggy support for float field types)
• Shotgun server v1.8 or higher for API v3.0.7.
• Python v2.4 - v2.7. (We do have plans to eventually support Python 3)

To use Shotgun's Python API module, you need to place it in one of the directories specified by the environment variable PYTHONPATH. For more information on PYTHONPATH and using modules in Python, see http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html
