The Python SDK supports Python 2.7 and 3.4+
-h3. Option 1: Install with pip
+h2. Option 1: Install from a distribution package
-This installation method is recommended to make the SDK available for use in your own Python programs. It can coexist with the system-wide installation method from a distribution package (option 2, below).
+This installation method is recommended to make the CLI tools available system-wide. It can coexist with the installation method described in option 2, below.
+
+First, configure the "Arvados package repositories":../../install/packages.html
+
+{% assign arvados_component = 'python-arvados-python-client' %}
+
+{% include 'install_packages' %}
+
+h2. Option 2: Install with pip
+
+This installation method is recommended to use the SDK in your own Python programs. It can coexist with the system-wide installation method from a distribution package (option 2, below).
Run @pip install arvados-python-client@ in an appropriate installation environment, such as a @virtualenv@.
If your version of @pip@ is 1.4 or newer, the @pip install@ command might give an error: "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement arvados-python-client". If this happens, try @pip install --pre arvados-python-client@.
-h3. Option 2: Install from a distribution package
-
-This installation method is recommended to make the CLI tools available system-wide. It can coexist with the installation method described in option 1, above.
-
-First, "add the appropriate package repository for your distribution":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#repos.

-h3. Test installation
+h2. Test installation
If the SDK is installed and your @ARVADOS_API_HOST@ and @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ environment variables are set up correctly (see "api-tokens":{{site.baseurl}}/user/reference/api-tokens.html for details), @import arvados@ should produce no errors.
