oef 0.3.2

SDK for OEF Agent development.

OEF Python SDK

This is the Python SDK for OEF agent development, allowing:

• registration of agents and services in the OEF
• searching for agents and services in the OEF
• constructing a direct communication channel with another agent

Installing for Use

This system is now installable using pip3.

• pip3 install fetch-oef

Development Environment

This is for anyone who wants to do development work on the code. It is not necessary for using the Fetch.AI OEF system.

Dependencies

• Google Protocol Buffers compiler. You can install it in several ways, depending on your platform:

  • On Debian-based (e.g. Ubuntu):

    sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
    

  • You can do it manually by checking the release page and by choosing the release for your platform. The name format is protoc-$(VERSION)-$(PLATFORM).zip (e.g. for Windows look at protoc-$(VERSION)-win32.zip).

  • Compile from source.

• On MacOS

    brew install protobuf
  

Installation

In order to install oef, run:

python setup.py install 

or

python3 setup.py install 

or

python3 setup.py install

Run the tests

To run the tests, you need to clone oef-core repository and build the project. Check that you have installed all the dependencies (see INSTALL.txt):

python scripts/setup_test.py

Finally:

tox -e py3x

Where x depends on your Python version (either 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7).

Documentation

For the documentation we use Sphinx.

• Install the required packages with Pipenv and activate the shell:

  pipenv install --dev
  pipenv shell
  

• Then build the docs with:

  cd docs/
  make html
  

And then just open index.html in the build/html folder.
