assembla 1.1.1

Python wrapper for the Assembla API

An easy to use wrapper around the Assembla API.

• Basic Example

• Examples for Spaces

• Examples for Milestones

• Examples for Users

• Examples for Tickets

• Model Reference

• Caching

Basic Example

from assembla import API

assembla = API(auth=('Username', 'Password',))

print assembla.space(name='Big Project').ticket(number=201).status_name

Examples for Spaces

# Retrieve your available spaces
spaces = API.spaces()

# Select a specific space
space = API.space(name='Big Project')

# Retrieve the space's milestones
milestones = space.milestones()

# Retrieve a specific milestone from the space
milestone = space.milestone('Release Candidate 1')

# Retrieve all of the space's tickets
tickets = space.tickets()

# Retrieve the space's tickets which are awaiting testing
tickets = space.tickets(status_name='Test')

# Retrieve a specific ticket from the space
ticket = space.ticket(number=301)

# Retrieve all of the space's users
users = space.users()

# Retrieve a specific user from the space
user = space.user(name='John Smith')

Examples for Milestones

# Select a specific milestone
milestone = assembla.space(name='Big Project').milestone('Release Candidate 1')

# Retrieve the milestone's tickets
tickets = milestone.tickets()

# Retrieve a specific ticket from the milestone
ticket = milestone.ticket(number=301)

# Retrieve the milestone's users
users = milestone.users()

# Retrieve a specific user from the milestone
user = milestone.user(name='John Smith')

Examples for Users

# Select a specific user
user = assembla.space(name='Big Project').user(name='John Smith')

# Retrieve the user's tickets
tickets = user.tickets()

# Retrieve a specific ticket from the user
ticket = user.ticket(status_name='Test')

Examples for Tickets

# Retrieve a specific ticket
ticket = space.ticket(number=201)

# Retrieve all tickets awaiting code review
tickets = space.tickets(status_name='Code Review')

# Retrieve all tickets assigned to an individual which are of a certain priority
# and awaiting testing
tickets = space.tickets(
        assigned_to_id=user.id,
        priority=1,
        status_name='Test'
        )

Model Reference

All models (Space, Milestone, User and Ticket) are returned with fields corresponding to the data from Assembla. Naming conventions generally follow Assembla’s API Reference. Where possible, values are coerced to native Python types.

Caching

Spaces have an in-memory caching system, which reduces the overheard on repeated requests to Assembla. By default, it is activated. You can deactivate it:

# Deactivate the cache for a space, all subsequent requests will return fresh data
space.cache.deactivate()
# Deactivate the cache for all spaces instantiated from `assembla`
assembla = API(auth=('Username', 'Password',), use_cache=False)

If you want to purge stale data from a space’s cache and begin refilling it:

# Purge stale data from the space's cache, any subsequent request will update the cache
space.cache.purge()
