###1. WHAT IS pyfilemaker2?
pyfilemaker2 is based, but largely rewritten, from PyFileMaker (https://github.com/aeguana/PyFileMaker) whose description is still valid:
PyFileMaker is a set of Python modules that makes it easy to access and modify
data stored in a FileMaker Pro/Server database. You can use it to query a FileMaker
database, but you can also use it to add data to a FileMaker database, you
can even use it to delete records and execute FileMaker scripts.
pyfilemaker2 implements the following additional features:
- FM server responses can be streamed and parsed 'on the fly' during the streaming.
- FM server responses can be automatically paginated as large dataset (>20k records) tend to trigger FMS and/or network timeouts.
- meant to be thread safe, though I can't claim to be an expert on the subject...
- More consistent and finer control on the way data types are cast when reading or writting FM records (in particular dates, datetimes and float objects)
- python 2.7 and python 3.6 compatible (most probably other 3.x versions too but not tested)
- improved test battery
###2. REQUIREMENTS
At the time of the development (2018), the pyfilemaker2 is using:
requests==2.19.1 lxml==4.2.5 future==0.16.0
The code has been developped on Max OSX 10.13 and is used in production on debian jessie. Other plateforms have not been tested.
You will also need a FileMaker server with the XML enabled of course.
###3. HOW TO INSTALL PYFILEMAKER2
You can install from pypi using pip
$ pip install pyfilemaker2
You also can install the development version directly from github
pip install -e git+https://github.com/aeguana/PyFileMaker.git#egg=PyFileMaker
###6. CHANGES
