polis-client 0.1.1

Add your description here

polis-client-py

An unofficial Python API client for communicating with any Polis servers.

It will start off as read-only, but I intend to add helpers for handling POST requests via xid, and maybe jwt.

This will eventually be used in the red-dwarf algorithm library, doing much of the work of that library's current "data loader".

Installation

pip install polis-client

Usage

See: examples.ipynb

Development

(We use uv, but you can use any Python environment.)

This project is structured around an OpenAPI definition at ../openapi/polis.yml, from which most of the code in this repository is auto-generated.

We have written a thin custom client around the auto-generated client code that is built (from the repository root) with:

$ uv run make regenerate-py

This command must be run whenever you update the YAML spec file. For legibility of commit history, any updates to auto-generated should be committed in a batch separate from your own changes. (e.g. "Adding auto-generated code.")
