# Python SDK

The Python SDK can be used for programmatically creating projects and uploading data to them.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend using the UI to create projects as part of a normal workflow. This will provide the best experience and most options for project setup. For more information see [Projects](https://github.com/dbnlAI/docs/blob/main/reference/workflow/projects.md).
{% endhint %}

See [SDK Log Ingestion](https://github.com/dbnlAI/docs/blob/main/reference/configuration/data-connections/sdk-log-ingestion.md) for more information and examples on using the SDK to upload log data to your deployment.

## Installation

To install the latest SDK, run:

```shell
pip install --upgrade dbnl
```
