mllib 1.0.0a2

A REST client for MarkLogic 8

A REST client for MarkLogic 8 documentation management.

MarkLogic 8 is a NOSQL database and application framework for documentation management applications.

This package is still at an early WIP state and APIs may change before the first release.

As said in the subtitle, this package focuses on documentation management services (CRUD operations, searching, …). If you need a pythonic way to create, fine tune and populate MarkLogic 8 databases and clusters, you may prefer MarkLogic_Python.

Hey! Where are the docs

As above written, this package is at an early stage of development, and writing a cool doc with an API and features that may change before the first beta release is a waste of time.

Meanwhile, you may read and play with the code that’s in the sandbox/ directory that explores most features of the provided resources.

Installation

Jump to Contributing if you want the full source distro and contribute to the project. Others will use pip to install mllib like this, as long as it is not yet available on PyPI.

pip install git+https://github.com/glenfant/mllib.git#egg=mllib

See https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install.html#git if you need a specific Git branch, tag or commit hash.

Developer notes

Please use a virtualenv to maintain this package, but I should not need to say that.

Grab the source from the SCM repository

$ git clone https://github.com/glenfant/mllib.git
$ python setup.py develop
$ pip install mllib[dev]

Run the tests

Running the tests require :

• Connection to http://httpbin.org/ . If you can see its home page in your browser, it’s OK

• Running a MarkLogic 8 REST tests instance at http://localhost:8000 with username and password being both admin. If you prefer to use another instance listening on port 9000 of host my.marklogic-rest.tld and which user is foo authenticated by password bar, you need to provide this in a MLLIB_TEST_SERVER environment variable that contains my.marklogic-rest.tld:9000:foo:bar.

  if your MarkLogic REST server expects an HTTP Basic Authentication token, append :basic to the MLLIB_TEST_SERVER environment variable. Otherwise an HTTP Digest Auth token will be issued.

$ export MLLIB_TEST_SERVER=my.marklogic-rest.tld:9000:foo:bar  # Optional
$ python setup.py test
$ python run_tests.py

Build the Sphinx documentation

$ python setup.py build_sphinx
$ firefox build/sphinx/html/index.html
