allie-sdk 2.2.3

A Python library for the Alation REST APIs.

Alation Allie SDK (Python)

Allie SDK is a Python library that Alation customers and partners can use to increase productivity when interacting with Alation’s REST APIs. By using the Allie SDK library, you can manage and change many Alation resources programmatically. You can use this library to create your own custom applications.

This repository contains Python source code for the library and documentation showing how to use it. As of June 2024, Python versions 3.10 and up are supported.

Documentation on how to use the SDK can be found at: https://alation.github.io/Allie-SDK/

Set up instruction for developers contributing to Allie-SDK

1. Download the repo.
2. Install uv if you haven’t done so already (see also here).
3. Within the project root folder run: uv sync. This will create the virtual environment and install all the dependencies.

Local Builds

You can create a local build like so (execute in the project root folder):

uv build

Testing

We are using pytest and not unittest. Make sure that the IDE you are working with is also configured to use pytest for running the tests.

To run the tests:

uv run pytest
# or with more detailed output
uv run pytest -v

Consideration when writing test

• Use pytest not unittest.
• Don't import request_mock and do not use decorators (since Pytest already takes care of this for you).
• Bundle tests in test classes.
