## Python Packaging
-This packaging allows you to write Flink programs in Python, but it is
currently a very initial version and will change in future versions.
+PyFlink is a Python API for Apache Flink that allows you to build scalable
batch and streaming workloads,
+such as real-time data processing pipelines, large-scale exploratory data
analysis, Machine Learning (ML)
+pipelines and ETL processes. If you’re already familiar with Python and
libraries such as Pandas,
+then PyFlink makes it simpler to leverage the full capabilities of the Flink
ecosystem.
+Depending on the level of abstraction you need, there are two different APIs
that can be used in PyFlink: PyFlink Table API and PyFlink DataStream API.
-In this initial version only Table API is supported, you can find the
documentation at
[https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/tableApi.html](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/tableApi.html)
+The PyFlink Table API allows you to write powerful relational queries in a way
that is similar to
+using SQL or working with tabular data in Python. You can find more
information about it via the tutorial
+[https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/docs/dev/python/table_api_tutorial/](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/docs/dev/python/table_api_tutorial/)
-The tutorial can be found at
[https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/tutorials/python_table_api.html](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/tutorials/python_table_api.html)
+The PyFlink DataStream API gives you lower-level control over the core
building blocks of Flink,
+state and time, to build more complex stream processing use cases.
