Hello,  
I for some reason cannot figure out how to get Pipeline Step using the python API. I have no issues finding shots, sequences and Versions. I read that they are an Entity so I tried:

> steps = self.\_sg.find(“Step”, [[‘project’, ‘is’, self.project]])

The error is:  
shotgun\_api3.shotgun.Fault: API read() Step.project doesn’t exist:  
{“path”=\>“project”,  
“relation”=\>“is”,  
“values”=\>[{“type”=\>“Project”, “id”=\>122}]}

Can someone point me in the direction of getting Steps? Specifically I’ll be looking for a list of all available Shot Steps.

Thank you.

Ok. I found a solution.

> steps = self.\_sg.find(‘Step’, [[‘entity\_type’, ‘is’, ‘Shot’]], [‘short\_name’, ‘code’, ‘entity\_type’])

This provides me with enough info to get what I need.

Yeah Steps are not related to projects, as you found out.  
Why need a filter at all? Just `sg.find("Step", [])` would suffice.
