Basic usage
Creating a new application with the 1010data Python SDK includes importing the library, establishing a session, submitting a query, receiving results, and cleaning up the session.
Establishing a session
A 1010data Insights Platform session is an instance of a particular user ID logged into the platform within a certain environment. A session is comprised of a dedicated set of resources that can serve a single request at a time.
Login types
The login type determines what happens when the application establishes a connection to the platform and another session is currently active.

Basic usage
Creating a new application with the 1010data Python SDK includes importing the library, establishing a session, submitting a query, receiving results, and cleaning up the session.
- Setting up an application
  Your application setup includes importing any required libraries, including the 1010data Python SDK.
- Establishing a session
  A 1010data Insights Platform session is an instance of a particular user ID logged into the platform within a certain environment. A session is comprised of a dedicated set of resources that can serve a single request at a time.
  - Login types
    The login type determines what happens when the application establishes a connection to the platform and another session is currently active.
  - Optional Parameters
    The Session object can also take a number of optional parameters.
  - Connecting via proxy
    If your application is connecting to the Insights Platform via a proxy server, your gateway string needs to be modified to include the proxy server's address (MYCORPORATEPROXYADDRESS)
- Running a query
  Your application should act as an intermediary between your users and the platform to pass in a query and receive the queried data.
- Accessing query results
  After querying the 1010data Insights Platform, your application receives a set of results, which is accessible through the Query object.
- Cleaning up a session
  If your application uses the with keyword, the 1010ata Insights Platform session is cleaned up automatically at the end of the with statement. If your application does not use with, you need to clean up the platform session when you've completed the transaction.

Login types

The login type determines what happens when the application establishes a connection to the platform and another session is currently active.

There are three valid login types: py1010.POSSESS, py1010.KILL, and py1010.NOKILL.

py1010.POSSESS attaches the new login to an existing session if one is active when the connection is established.
py1010.KILL ends an existing session and starts a new one when the connection is established.
py1010.NOKILL fails to connect if an existing session is active when the connection is established.

If no session is active, a new session is started.
