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>/setupvars.sh . - On CentOS* 7.4:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/setupvars.sh . - On macOS* 10.x:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/setupvars.sh . - On Raspbian* 9,:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/setupvars.sh . - On Windows* 10:
call <INSTALL_DIR>\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.
