- Use an standard Python (CPython) installation
- Use the Jython pure-Java implementation of Python bundled with SNAP
For either way, it is possible to call SNAP code from your Python programs/scripts and to extend SNAP by plugins written in Python. However, the two ways have pros and cons which should be considered before you make a decision which you want to follow.
