To make sure that you have already installed the DelphiVCL Python library correctly, you can simply test it using the Python dir()
command:
1 2 3 |
import delphivcl dir(delphivcl) |
If you install it correctly, it will return all properties, methods, even built-in properties of the DelphiVCL module, without the values:
See them more clearly here:
