Welcome to RTI Connector for Python!

RTI® Connext® DDS is a connectivity software framework for integrating data sources of all types. At its core is the world’s leading ultra-high performance, distributed networking databus.

RTI Connector provides a quick and easy way to write applications that publish and subscribe to the RTI Connext DDS databus in Python and other languages.

You can learn how to use RTI Connector by reading the following sections, which include examples and detailed API reference. You can also find a specific type or function in the Index.

Note

With the introduction of the RTI Connext Python API in RTI Connext 7.0.0, Connector for Python is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, once the Connext Python API is fully supported. You are encouraged to try the Connext Python API (experimental in 7.0.0).
