Respire: Yet Another SPORE client

Respire is a python client which consumes a SPORE description file and expose a python API for it.

Here is how to use it, out of the box, with a working SPORE defined website.

(These examples works with the Daybed project, but it woks the same with any other SPORE enabled service.):

from respire import client_from_url

cl = client_from_url('http://localhost:8000/spore')
cl.post_data(model_name='todo', data=dict(item='make it work', status='todo'))
cl.get_data(model_name='todo')

If you need to add headers to all the queries or handle cookies, you can pass a requests.Session instance:

from request import client_from_url
import requests

session = requests.Session()
session.headers['X-Some-App-Key'] = 'myapplicationkey'

cl = client_from_url('http://localhost:8000/spore', session=session)
cl.post_data(model_name='todo', data=dict(item='make it work', status='todo'))
cl.get_data(model_name='todo')

How to install it?

Currently, Respire is not packaged for pypi, so you need to get it from git:

$ git clone http://github.com/spiral-project/respire.git
(respire)$ make install
(respire)$ make tests
