1 Installation

pip install ipgdrive

2 Setup

To enable Google Drive access, follow the instructions here to create a service account with Google Drive access, and create a json key file for it.

Place this file in the ~/.config/ipgdrive/ folder, and rename it to google_drive_service_account_key.json.

Additionally, create a cfg.json file inside the ~/.config/ipgdrive/ folder, and populate it with the following values:

{
    "spreadsheet_name": "my_server_public_ip",
    "username": "momo",
    "freq_minutes": 5
}

The username is for the user running the process on the server, NOT the Google account username.

pip install -e '.[test]'

4.2 Running the tests

4.3 Adding documentation

The project is documented using the numpy docstring conventions, which were chosen as they are perhaps the most widely-spread conventions that are both supported by common tools such as Sphinx and result in human-readable docstrings. When documenting code you add to this project, follow these conventions.

Additionally, if you update this README.rst file, use python setup.py checkdocs to validate it compiles.
