# Eclipse zenoh Python API

[Eclipse zenoh](http://zenoh.io) is an extremely efficient and fault-tolerant [Named Data Networking](http://named-data.net) (NDN) protocol 
that is able to scale down to extremely constrainded devices and networks. 

The Python API is for pure clients, in other terms does not support peer-to-peer communication, can be easily
tested with our demo instace available at **demo.zenoh.io**.

Notice that on some platforms, such as Linux, you will need to do this as *sudo*.

<!-- ## Installing the API from PyPi
