Help with Python Beta

Help with Python Beta

Hello:

I've got the Python Beta loaded into my Catalyst account, and I'm excited to start using it, but I have not been able to get the Catalyst SDK loaded into Python.

The first big issue is that the documentation says to import zcatalyst-sdk, and the requirements.txt document uses the same name. Identifiers in Python are not allowed to have hyphens if I am not mistaken. I don't believe this works.

The second issue is that the documentation states that "When you initialize a Catalyst project in the CLI and create or set up a Python function in an existing project directory in your local environment, the Python SDK package (zcatalyst-sdk) will automatically be installed inside the functions directory of your current project."

I have not found that to be the case. Please help!
