Introduction

A Singer.io wrapper Python library (that's fully type-annotated :D) that makes using Singer taps and targets easy.

This wrapper creates temporary virtual environment for each tap and target, download the required dependency and executes them. After execution, all environments are torn down and cleaned up.

Requirements

• Linux only (Windows in the future? :|)
• Requires Python 3.7+.
• PySinger has no dependencies, it uses only Python built-in libraries.

Installation

pip install pysinger

Usage

Using tap and target names

Use the tap/target names you would use to pip install them.

E.g. the tap would be "tap-exchangeratehost" if you'd used pip install tap-exchangeratehost to install it or target "singer-target-postgres" for pip install singer-target-postgres.

from pysinger import Singer

tap_config = {
    "base": "JPY",
    "start_date": "2022-01-01"
}

target_config = {
    "delimiter": "\t",
    "quotechar": "'",
    "destination_path": ""
}

singer = Singer(
    "tap-exchangeratehost",
    "target-csv",
    tap_config=tap_config,          # Optional
    target_config=target_config     # Optional
)

end_state = singer.run()

# Optionally you can save the state for future use
singer.save_state("/path/to/state.json")

Different executable name

By default PySinger executes tap/target by their name, but sometimes the executables are named differently.

For example singer-target-postgres uses a target-postgres as its executable. To run these:

...
singer = Singer(
    "tap-exchangeratehost",
    "singer-target-postgres",
    tap_config=tap_config,
    target_config=target_config
    target_kwargs={"target_exec": "target-postgres"}
)

# Similarly there's one for taps called 'tap_exec'
...

To know what the executable name is, see the individual tap/target repo and check their invocation name.

Summary:

• tap/target name is from pip install tap_or_target
• tap/target_exec is from virtualenv/tap_or_target/bin/tap_or_target_exec

Defining Tap or Target manually

You can also pass Tap or Target instances that were created manually

from pysinger import Tap, Target, Singer

tap = Tap("tap-exchangerates", config_path="/path/to/config.json")

target = Target(
    "pipelinewise-target-postgres",
    target_exec="target-postgres",
    config={"disable_collection": True}
    )

singer = Singer(tap=tap, target=target)
singer.run()
