> [@timanix](#): > > I am using Jupyter lab to combine with Python (I don’t know bash commands) Hey @timanix, I suggest you check out the Artifact API, it will provide a much more convenient way for working with QIIME 2 in a python environment: [https://docs.qiime2.org/2019.10/interfaces/artifact-api/](https://docs.qiime2.org/2019.10/interfaces/artifact-api/) > [@Moving Pictures Python API tutorial (QIIME2 2018.4)](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/moving-pictures-python-api-tutorial-qiime2-2018-4/4112): > > I rewrote the ["Moving Pictures" tutorial using QIIME2 Python API](https://gist.github.com/tkosciol/29de5198a4be81559a075756c2490fde). The original QIIME2 CLI "Moving Pictures" tutorial can be accessed [here](https://docs.qiime2.org/2018.4/tutorials/moving-pictures/). It takes advantage of the latest QIIME2 2018.4 functionalities, especially displaying visualizations in the notebook. You can also [view it in nbviewer](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/tkosciol/29de5198a4be81559a075756c2490fde). This notebook should be treated as experimental and its goal is to provide a starting point for the users in going from the CLI to Python API. t. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/multiple-metrics-in-a-single-command-qiime-diversity-alpha/13508)._
