The Client is the centerpiece of the Box SDK. We provide several subclasses of the Client that can be especially useful during development of applications using the SDK.

The LoggingClient sets up logging to stdout to help visualize API calls made by the SDK.
The DeveloperTokenClient sets up auth using a developer token that you can get from the Box Developer Console.
The DevelopmentClient does both!

from boxsdk import DevelopmentClient
client = DevelopmentClient()
