Revit API Documentation for Python

Revit API Documentation for Python

It would be great to have the Revit API documentation for python and not only for C# and Visual Basic. Many people choose Python as their first programming language but when they are having really hard times when they try to use it with the Revit API.

 

Every day there are more and more examples for the Revit Python shell or Dynamo, but ir would be great to start from the beginning with an appopiate documentation for python

Couldn't agree more.

 

Learning to programme is hard but rewarding work, but having to translate the API docs from C# and VB makes it much more difficult.

A. Nothing planned at this point. Good idea though. Log it."

Yes ... Looking forward to RevitPython API Documentation on similar lines as C#.  Thanks

Me too. I have to start to learn C# just for this lack. For what I am understanding it is very similar to Python but more loose. They created at Microsoft in 2000 while Python was first released in 1991. I bet Autodesk prefer to refer only garanty third parties not open source which is the devil for them!
