This is a component of the python-oops project: https://launchpad.net/python-oops. An OOPS report is a report about something going wrong in a piece of software… thus, an ‘oops’ :)

This package provides disk storage, management, and a serialisation format for OOPSes stored in the repository. Programs or services that are generating OOPS reports need this package or other similar ones, if they want to persist the reports.

Dependencies

• Python 2.6+

• The oops package (https://launchpad.net/python-oops or ‘oops’ on pypi).

Testing Dependencies

• fixtures (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fixtures)

• subunit (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-subunit) (optional)

• testtools (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/testtools)

Usage

oops_datedir_repo is an extension package for the oops package.

The DateDirRepo class provides an OOPS publisher (DateDirRepo.publish) which will write OOPSes into the repository.

Retrieving OOPSes can be done by using the low level serializer_rfc822 functions : an OOPS report can be written to a disk file via the serializer_rfc822.write() function, and read via the matching read() function.

Typical usage:

>>> config = oops.Config()
>>> with fixtures.TempDir() as tempdir:
...    repo = oops_datedir_repo.DateDirRepo('/tmp/demo')
...    config.publishers.append(repo.publish)
...    ids = config.publish({'oops': '!!!'})

For more information see the oops package documentation or the api docs.

Installation

Either run setup.py in an environment with all the dependencies available, or add the working directory to your PYTHONPATH.

Development

Upstream development takes place at https://launchpad.net/python-oops-datedir-repo. To setup a working area for development, if the dependencies are not immediately available, you can use ./bootstrap.py to create bin/buildout, then bin/py to get a python interpreter with the dependencies available.

To run the tests use the runner of your choice, the test suite is oops_datedir_repo.tests.test_suite.

For instance:

$ bin/py -m testtools.run oops_datedir_repo.tests.test_suite

If you have testrepository you can run the tests with that:

$ testr run
