The Python tab allows you to setup the path of the Python interpreter and the Python editor used by RoboDK. Most post processors require Python to allow you to generate brand-specific robot programs. Also, some examples that use the RoboDK API require Python to be installed.

Note: RoboDK installs Python 3.7 by default. However, you can use any version of Python with the RoboDK API and post processors.

Note: RoboDK installs VSCodium by default on Windows. VSCodium is a free text editor based on VSCode.
