Hi everyone,  
I have just finished develop my plugin with Lua. Its work perfectly. But my mentor tell me try using Python for develop Plugin. But i can’t find any document about how to set up and develop with Python (actually i find just one).  
I think that plugins developed in Lua and Python will be similar in some respects. Even so, i don’t really know how to start with Python.  
Anyone please give me some advices.  
Thanks a lot!

Hi,  
Start here: [Write plugins in Python - v3.5.x | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/plugin-development/pluginserver/python/)

For the plugin development kit (PDK) documentation, try these links:

> **[PDK - v3.5.x | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/plugin-development/pdk/)**
>
> Documentation for Kong, the Cloud Connectivity Company for APIs and Microservices.

Good luck!
