Pyblish is an open source, cross-platform framework for test-driven content creation.
Pyblish by Example is a hands-on introduction to Pyblish using short example programs written like a book - to be read from top to bottom.
If you haven't already, go ahead and install Pyblish.
Start by confirming to yourself that you are indeed using version 1.4+ of Pyblish.
If not, see the top-left corner of this page for a dropdown of your version.
As you read through this guide it is recommended that you use the scripting API, accessible via pyblish.util
.
Should you happen to find errors or would like to contribute material to this guide, you can:

Have a look to the left for a table of contents, and below for related topics in the forums.
Note: The below content was written at various versions of Pyblish and may not include current best practices, but all remain forwards compatible with version 1.4.
For example,
.set_data("key", "value")
has been superseded by.data["key"] = "value"
but will still work with newer plug-ins.
