The current mainline version is for Python 3.5 and up. There is an older version that is compatible with Python 2.7.x on the python2 branch.
SkyHook consist of 2 parts that can, but don’t have to, work together. There’s a client and a server. The server is just a very simple HTTP server that takes JSON requests. It parses those requests and tries to execute what was in them. The client just makes a a POST request to the server with a JSON payload. This is why you can basically use anything that’s able to do so as a client. Could be in a language other than Python, or even just webpage or mobile application.
