# Python

export const siteNameShort = "Sync";

export const siteName = "CData Sync";

{siteName} is designed to handle complex data integration scenarios through configured [connections](../../connections/connections), [jobs](../../jobs/jobs), [transformations](../../transformations/transformations), and [pipelines](../../getting-started/administration/pipelines-page). However, some cases require more advanced logic, which you can implement by using the embedded Python scripting language.

*Python support* gives developers who are already familiar with the language a flexible way to extend {siteNameShort} by using Python capabilities instead of APIScript. Python is well suited for advanced transformations, external integrations, file and metadata processing, and custom logic.

This feature requires a one-time setup to enable Python execution in your {siteNameShort} environment. Once Python is enabled, you can write and run Python scripts anywhere that APIScript is supported.

For details about how how to use Python scripting in {siteNameShort}, including script execution, available inputs, and practical examples, see [Writing Python](./writing-python).
