streamdeck-sdk

streamdeck-python-sdk

Library for creating Stream Deck plugins in Python.

Supported operating systems:

• MacOS: 10.14 or later
• Windows: 10 or later

Supported Python versions: 3.8 or later

Installation

⚠️ For correct operation on Windows, it is recommended to enable LongPaths support in the system: manual. Without this setting, problems with installation and use may occur!

pip install "streamdeck-sdk[dev]"

During this installation, additional libraries needed for development are installed:

• streamdeck-sdk-pi - Property Inspector generator in Python

• streamdeck-sdk-cli - useful command line utilities

⚠️ These libraries should not be present in the plugin's requirements.txt.

Features

• Ease of use. You can quickly create your own plugin without having to understand how websockets and other technologies work.
• Fully typed, using pydantic.
• Includes image to base64 converters for easy installation of icons on keys.
• Includes a decorator for functions and methods to run on a separate thread.
• Exception logging and easy logging configuration.
• Debug mode via PyCharm or other debugging tools.
• A complete protocol for interaction with the Stream Deck application has been implemented.
• Quick start of a project via the console command streamdeck_sdk startproject.
• Build the project using the streamdeck_sdk build console command.
• Property Inspector Generator. Write code in Python and get html and js for PI.

⚠️ Limitations

1. During installation and update of the plugin, the Internet must be available.

Windows

1. Plugin requirements should take no longer than 30 seconds to install. This is a feature of Stream Deck on Windows, since the program restarts the plugin if a websocket connection has not been established within 30 seconds. Therefore, you need a good Internet connection when installing and updating the plugin.
