agaveflask 0.1.0

Common package for authoring Agave services in flask/Flask-RESTful

# agaveflask #

## Overview ##

A common set of Python modules for writing flask services for the Agave Platform. The package officially requires Python 3.4+, though some functionality may work with Python 2.

## Installation ## pip install agaveflask

Requires Python header files and a C++ compiler on top of gcc. On Debian/Ubuntu systems: apt-get install python3-dev g++

## Usage ##

agaveflask provides the following modules:

• auth.py - configurable authentication/authorization routines.

• config.py - config parsing.

• errors.py - exception classes raised by agaveflask.

• store.py - python bindings for persistence.

• utils.py - general request/response utilities.

It relies on a configuration file for the service. Create a file called service.conf in one of /, /etc, or $pwd. See service.conf.ex in this repository for settings used by this library.
