create_instance

product_versionstr, optional

Version of the product. For example, "222". The default is None.

requests_timeoutfloat, optional

Maximum time for each request in seconds. The default is None.

Returns:

Instance

Instance of the product.

Raises:

UnsupportedProductError

The product or the selected version is not available remotely.

>>> client = pypim.connect()
