direct-sdk-python2 1.10.0

SDK to communicate with the Ingenico ePayments platform using the Ingenico Direct Server API

Introduction

The Python SDK helps you to communicate with the Ingenico Direct Server API. Its primary features are:

• convenient Python library for the API calls and responses

  • marshalls Python request objects to HTTP requests

  • unmarshalls HTTP responses to Python response objects or Python exceptions

• handling of all the details concerning authentication

• handling of required meta data

Its use is demonstrated by an example for each possible call. The examples execute a call using the provided API key.

See the Ingenico Direct Support Site for more information on how to use the SDK.

Structure of this repository

This repository consists out of three main components:

1. The source code of the SDK itself: /ingenico/direct/sdk/

2. The source code of the SDK unit tests: /tests/unit/

3. The source code of the example integration tests: /tests/integration/

Note that the source code of the unit tests and integration tests can only be found on GitHub.

Requirements

Python 2.7 is required. In addition, the following package is required:

• requests 2.20.0 or higher

This package will be installed automatically if the SDK is installed manually or using pip following the below instructions.

Installation

To install the SDK using pip, execute the following command:

pip install direct-sdk-python2

Alternatively, you can install the SDK from a source distribution file:

1. Download the latest version of the Python SDK from GitHub. Choose the direct-sdk-python2-x.y.z.zip file from the releases page, where x.y.z is the version number.

2. Execute the following command in the folder where the SDK was downloaded to:

   pip install direct-sdk-python2-x.y.z.zip

Uninstalling

After the Python SDK has been installed, it can be uninstalled using the following command:

pip uninstall direct-sdk-python2

The required package can be uninstalled in the same way.

Running tests

There are two types of tests: unit tests and integration tests. The unit tests will work out-of-the-box; for the integration tests some configuration is required.

First, some environment variables need to be set:

• direct.api.apiKeyId for the API key id to use.

• direct.api.secretApiKey for the secret API key to use.

• direct.api.merchantId for your merchant ID.

In order to run the unit and integration tests, the mock backport and mockito packages are required. These can be installed using the following command:

pip install mock mockito

The following commands can then be executed from the tests directory to execute the tests:

• Unit tests:

  python run_unit_tests.py

• Integration tests:

  python run_integration_tests.py

• Both unit and integration tests:

  python run_all_tests.py

Note: in the current version of the unit tests, two errors will pop up ([Errno 10053] for Windows and [Errno 32] for Linux), indicating that there was a client disconnect. These errors occur during cleanup of the tests and do not hinder the tests in any way, and should therefore be ignored.
