LaunchDarkly sample Python application

We've built a simple console application that demonstrates how LaunchDarkly's SDK works.

Below, you'll find the build procedure. For more comprehensive instructions, you can visit your Quickstart page or the Python reference guide.

This demo requires Python 3.8 or higher.

Build instructions

1. Set the environment variable LAUNCHDARKLY_SDK_KEY to your LaunchDarkly SDK key. If there is an existing boolean feature flag in your LaunchDarkly project that you want to evaluate, set LAUNCHDARKLY_FLAG_KEY to the flag key; otherwise, a boolean flag of sample-feature will be assumed.

   export LAUNCHDARKLY_SDK_KEY="1234567890abcdef"
   export LAUNCHDARKLY_FLAG_KEY="my-boolean-flag"

2. Ensure you have Poetry installed.

3. Install the required dependencies with poetry install.

4. On the command line, run poetry run python main.py

You should receive the message "The feature flag evaluates to .". The application will run continuously and react to the flag changes in LaunchDarkly.
