<jupyter_start><jupyter_text>New to Plotly?Plotly's Python library is free and open source! [Get started](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/) by downloading the client and [reading the primer](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/).You can set up Plotly to work in [online](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/initialization-for-online-plotting) or [offline](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/initialization-for-offline-plotting) mode, or in [jupyter notebooks](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/start-plotting-online).We also have a quick-reference [cheatsheet](https://images.plot.ly/plotly-documentation/images/python_cheat_sheet.pdf) (new!) to help you get started!
