Truxton supports Python 3.8 via the Truxton.pyd library.

Overview
You must use the "import" directive to load this.
Go to the C:\Program Files\Truxton\SDK folder and start Python.
import truxton
When you import truxton you will get all of the predefined constants for file type, data type, origins, locations,
messages, entities, relations, events, media, objects, url methods, and urls.
You can see them all by issuing a dir command.
>>> dir(truxton)
This will allow your Python code to use the same constant names as C, C++ and C# code.
>>> print(truxton.Type_JPEG)

Once you have this working, you can start playing with Truxton.
import truxton
def main():
t = truxton.create()
print(t.version)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Style
In general, when using a Truxton Python object, you will follow this pattern:
- Create the object
- Set the data members of the object
- Call
save()to store the object in the Truxton database.
Until you call save(), nothing will appear in Truxton.
Classes
Truxton exposes several classes to Python.
- Truxton - The top level object.
- TruxtonArtifact - For adding records to the Entity table.
- TruxtonChildFileIO - For writing a file to Truxton.
- TruxtonETL - For becoming a Truxton ETL process.
- TruxtonEvent - For adding records to the Event table.
- TruxtonEventType - For adding custom event types to Truxton.
- TruxtonEXIF - For adding records to the EXIF table.
- TruxtonFileIO - For working with a read-only file stored in Truxton.
- TruxtonFileType - For adding new file types to Truxton.
- TruxtonInvestigation - For creating new investigations in Truxton.
- TruxtonLocation - For adding geographic coordinates to the Location table.
- TruxtonMedia - For adding media to Truxton.
- TruxtonMessage - The way Truxton ETL processes communicate.
- TruxtonObject - The object responsible for a connection to Truxton.
- TruxtonOptions - The object responsible for retrieving configuration variables.
- TruxtonRelation - For adding records to the Relation table for relating two items in Truxton.
- TruxtonUrl - For adding records to the WebsiteVisit table.
- TruxtonUSB - For adding records to the USBDevice table.
Remarks
The Python API is designed primarily for programs to contribute to Truxton.
Truxton.pyd was developed using the C API with a thin adapter layer of code to translate from Python provider semantics to Truxton calls.
