Python Driver Developer SDK
ARDI includes a library of files to assist in the rapid creation of ARDI drivers.
Most drivers built by Optrix are deliberately left open and documented so they can be used as basis for 3rd parties to create their own drivers. They can also be copied and enhanced if your application needs very specific alterations.
All of the driver functions appear in the ardi/drivers namespace.

Utility Classes
| Class/File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SQLHelper | Allows you to rapidly create a data source from an SQL and Python-compliant database |
