How Python Data Engineers Use IBM Cloud Python SDK

Python data engineers working in IBM Cloud environments use this SDK to access Watson AI APIs for enriching datasets — running text through NLU to extract entities and sentiment, or sending documents to Watson Discovery for ingestion and search. The Object Storage client handles reading and writing data files in a manner similar to boto3 for S3.
