aws-iot-device-client and python sdk

[SRIDHARDV]

I understand that AWS device client is using SDK based on CPP-v2. Since both CPP-v2_SDk and python-v2_SDk is built on top of AWS_CRT package,
So my question is, Can we use Python-v2_SDK along with AWS_IOT_Device_Client ?

I don't think we have ever tested using them at the same time, but you might be able to. You. might run into some conflicts with using different versions of the CRT package. I'm just not sure why you would want to use both at the same time and what exactly your use case is?

Thank you :) for the reply,
We have our IoT application fully written in python and also we had our own connectivity solutions in cloud. Now we have decided to move to aws IoT-core for the connectivity and management solution. since the device provisioning and some other features (remote shell, jobs) are already implemented in aws_iot_device_client, We choose to implement it(AWS_IoT_device_client). The provisioning and the other parts are working fine.
In our application we planned to use multiple named shadows. Our understanding is that there is no direct take away code implemented for multiple named shadow in aws_iot_device_client, since we already have the application written in python, we thought of using the python SDK for the Shadow part implementation.
