Python API for LivingApps

ll.la provides a Python API for the LivingApps system (see http://www.living-apps.de/ or http://www.living-apps.com/ for more info).

ll.la allows you to fetch the configured data sources from a template, create new records, and update and delete existing records all from your Python prompt (or script).

For more info about LivingApps and this Python SDK, see https://my.living-apps.de/docs/PythonSDK.html (in german).

• The HTTPHandler now delays logging into LivingApps until the first real request. Furthermore it automatically appends gateway/ to the base URL and omits that part when constructing request URLs. The result of that it that it’s possible to replace to base URL with something else after the HTTPHandler has been created and before the first request is made. (This makes it possible to talk to the gateway host directly on custom LivingApps installations.)

• Added a force argument to the method Record.save(). With force=False (the default) any errors on the record or any of the fields will raise an exception. The force=True the record will be saved anyway. The return way indicated whether the record was really saved or the database or gateway returned an error. Referencing unsaved records or files now now be handled in a similar way: force=False will raise an exception and force=True will replace those references with None and add an error messsage to the field.

• It is now possible to create a File object and pass the content to the constructor. This is useful when a file has to be uploaded but none of the supported methods for creating one via Handler.file do the right thing. If a content is passed, the mime type is image and the arguments width and height are None the image size will be calculated automatically from the data (using Pillow).
