Britney-utils comes with some utilities to create and manage clients build by Britney.
britney-utils is working on Python 2.7 and Python >= 3.2. To install the module, use pip :
$> pip install britney-utilsYou can easily create a client with the get_client function. It will create and save the client to retrieve it later with his name, acting as a cache :
import britney_utils
client = britney_utils.get_client('my_client',
'/path/to/spore/description.json',
base_url='http://my-rest-api.org/v1/')If an instance is already created with a name you gave in first place, you can easily reset and rebuild it. In this example, we except that the my_client SPORE client already exist :
client = britney_utils.get_client('my_client',
'/path/to/spore/description.json',
reset=True)A new instance is created with the my_client name and saved
Creating a rich client with all middlewares needed activated is useful. You can do this like this :
from britney.middleware import auth, format
import britney_utils
middlewares = (
(format.Json, {'predicate': lambda env: env['format'] == 'json'}),
(auth.Basic, {'username': 'toto', 'password': 'xxxxxx'})
)
client = britney_utils.get_client('my_client',
'/path/to/spore/description.json',
middlewares=middlewares)
