Overview of Inference Engine Python* API

This API provides a simplified interface for Inference Engine functionality that allows you to:

  • Handle the models
  • Load and configure Inference Engine plugins based on device names
  • Perform inference in synchronous and asynchronous modes with arbitrary number of infer requests (the number of infer requests may be limited by target device capabilities)

Supported OSes

Inference Engine Python* API is supported on Ubuntu* 18.04 and 20.04, CentOS* 7.3 OSes, Raspbian* 9, Windows* 10 and macOS* 10.x.
Supported Python* versions:

Operating System Supported Python* versions:
Ubuntu* 18.04 3.6, 3.7
Ubuntu* 20.04 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
Windows* 10 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
CentOS* 7.3 3.6, 3.7
macOS* 10.x 3.6, 3.7
Raspbian* 9 3.6, 3.7

Set Up the Environment

To configure the environment for the Inference Engine Python* API, run:

  • On Ubuntu* 18.04 or 20.04: source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.sh .
  • On CentOS* 7.4: source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.sh .
  • On macOS* 10.x: source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.sh .
  • On Raspbian* 9,: source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.sh .
  • On Windows* 10: call <INSTALL_DIR>\bin\setupvars.bat

The script automatically detects latest installed Python* version and configures required environment if the version is supported.
If you want to use certain version of Python*, set the environment variable PYTHONPATH=<INSTALL_DIR>/python/<desired_python_version> after running the environment configuration script.
