aclib 0.2.4

aclib - The alphacruncher python library

Installation

$ pip install aclib

Usage

The library provides 2 convenience functions for connecting to the remote database with your credentials. It assumes that you have a credential file ~/.odbc.ini in the following format

[nuvolos]
uid = <username>
pwd = <password>

The library will also look for a special /lifecycle/.dbpath file. When used inside an Alphacruncher application, this file is populated by the platfrom with the db and schema name of the application, and the library will pick these up automatically.

You can then get the SQLAlchemy connection string, or create an SQLAlchemy engine directly:

>>> from aclib import get_url, get_engine
>>> get_url()
'snowflake://<username>:<password>@alphacruncher.eu-central-1/?warehouse=<username>'
>>> get_url("db_name","schema_name")
'snowflake://<username>:<password>@alphacruncher.eu-central-1/?warehouse=<username>&database=db_name&schema=schema_name'
>>> eng = get_engine("db_name","schema_name")
