# Q# Interoperability for Python #
The `qsharp-core` package for Python provides interoperability with the Quantum Development Kit and with the Q# language, making it easy to simulate Q# operations and functions from within Python.
For details on how to get started with Python and Q#, please see the [Getting Started with Python guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum/install-python-qdk).
You can also try our [Quantum Computing Fundamentals](https://aka.ms/learnqc) learning path to get familiar with the basic concepts of quantum computing, build quantum programs, and identify the kind of problems that can be solved.
## Installing with Anaconda ##
If you use Anaconda or Miniconda, installing the `qsharp` package will automatically include all dependencies:
```bash
conda install -c quantum-engineering qsharp
```
## Installing from Source ##
If you'd like to contribute to or experiment with the Python interoperability feature, it may be useful to install from source rather than from the `qsharp-core` package on the Python Package Index (PyPI).
To do so, make sure that you are in the `Python` directory, and run `setup.py` with the `install` argument:
```bash
cd iqsharp/src/Python/
python setup.py install
```
## Building the `qsharp-core` Package ##
The Python interoperability feature uses a standard `setuptools`-based packaging strategy.
To build a platform-independent wheel, run the setup script with `bdist_wheel` instead:
```bash
cd iqsharp/src/Python/
python setup.py bdist_wheel
```
By default, this will create a `qsharp-core` wheel in `dist/` with the version number set to 0.0.0.1.
To provide a more useful version number, set the `PYTHON_VERSION` environment variable before running `setup.py`.
## Support and Q&A
If you have questions about the Quantum Development Kit and the Q# language, or if you encounter issues while using any of the components of the kit, you can reach out to the quantum team and the community of users in [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/q%23) and in [Quantum Computing Stack Exchange](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/q%23) tagging your questions with **q#**.
