Python library

The eaasi_uvi_client Python library consists mainly of the EaaSIUVIClient class, which has the following public methods:

• EaaSIUVIClient.get_recommendations(): returns dictionary representation of the JSON returned by EaaSI's EnvironmentProposer API endpoints; raises requests.ConnectionError or eaasi_uvi_client.ResultNotFound on error.
• EaaSIUVIClient.parse_suggested_environments(): returns list of dictionaries with suggested emulation environments from JSON returned by EaaSI's EnvironmentProposer API endpoints; raises eaasi_uvi_client.ResultNotFound if get_recommendations() has not yet been called.

See cli/cli.py for an implementation example.
