The main SDK object by which all other methods are accessed is created by
calling `py42.sdk.from_local_account` or `py42.sdk.from_jwt_provider`. For example:

```python
import py42.sdk

sdk = py42.sdk.from_local_account("console.us.code42.com", "john.doe@example.com", "my_pw")
# access properties on 'sdk' to explore all the available methods
```

.. important::
    `py42` only supports token-based authentication.
```
