PyStaffo 0.1.4

A Staffomatic API Python wrapper

PyStaffo

PyStaffo is a Python wrapper library for the Staffomatic/Easypep API that simplifies many common tasks.

Installation

Either from PyPi:

$ pip install PyStaffo

Or from GitHub:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/perrydunn/PyStaffo

Requirements

• Python 3 except 3.2 (untested on Python 2)
• You need a Staffomatic account! A Staffomatic account includes a sub-domain name, and login details as a username and password.

Basic Use

from pystaffo import StaffoAccount

subdomain = '<subdomain>'
username = '<username>'
password = '<password>'

account = StaffoAccount(subdomain=subdomain, username=username, password=password)

# The locations and departments are cached as attributes of the class instance.
# Return dictionary of {'department_name': department_id, ...}:
account.locations

# Return the information of a particular location:
account.get_location('Westway')

Nuts and Bolts

A StaffoAccount() instance has various GET, PUT and POST API calls expressed as methods: these will be added to. So far there are no DELETE calls.

Please refer to the staffo.py for the methods currently available, and feel free to add some more!

Timezone Handling

PyStaffo handles timezones for you, using the timezone detailed in your account. If there are timezone issues you may need to look "under the hood". Please suggest improvements/alternatives.
