Autocode standard library Python bindings

Basic Python bindings for Autocode standard library service accession. Python 2.x and 3.x supported.

Used to interface with services built using Autocode and the Autocode CLI.

The lib package is available on PyPI: lib and operates as zero-dependency interface to run StdLib functions. This means that you can utilize any service on StdLib without installing any additional dependencies, and when you've deployed services to StdLib, you have a pre-built Python SDK. For example.

from lib import lib

try:
    result = lib.yourUsername.hostStatus(name='Dolores Abernathy')
except RuntimeError as err:
    # handle error

To discover StdLib services, visit https://stdlib.com/search. To build a service, get started with the StdLib CLI tools.

Installation

To install in an existing Python project;

$ pip install lib

Usage

from lib import lib

# [1]: Call "utils.reflect" function, the latest version, from StdLib
result = lib.utils.reflect(key='value')
result = lib.utils.reflect({'key': 'value'}) # also works
result = lib.utils.reflect('value') # also works, if first parameter is "key"

# [2]: Call "utils.reflect" function from StdLib, with "dev" environment
result = lib.utils.reflect['@dev'](key='value')

# [3]: Call "utils.reflect" function from StdLib, with "release" environment
#      This is equivalent to (1)
result = lib.utils.reflect['@release'](key='value')

# [4]: Call "utils.reflect" function from StdLib, with specific version
#      This is equivalent to (1)
result = lib.utils.reflect['@0.0.1'](key='value')

# [5]: Call functions within the service (not just the defaultFunction)
#      This is equivalent to (1) when "main" is the default function
result = lib.utils.reflect.main(key='value')

# Valid string composition from first object property only:
result = lib['utils.reflect'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@dev]'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@release]'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@0.0.1]'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect.main'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@dev].main'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@release].main'](key='value')
result = lib['utils.reflect[@0.0.1].main'](key='value')

Sending File Data

In order to send file parameters, in Python 2.7 or 3.6, simply use;

lib.username.service(parameter=open('/path/to/file.jpg'))

Where parameter is the parameter name expecting a file type (type "buffer" as listed on StdLib).
