rerobots 0.11.0

client library for the rerobots API

Summary

Python client library for the rerobots API

Releases are available at PyPI.

Documentation of the current release is at https://rerobots-py.readthedocs.io/ or can be built from sources as described below.

Getting started

To install the current release, try

pip install rerobots

Check that the package is installed:

python -c 'import rerobots'

Most interesting interactions with rerobots require an API token, which can be provided through the environment variable REROBOTS_API_TOKEN.

For additional features, such as getting images from cameras as NumPy arrays,

pip install rerobots[extra]

Testing and development

A Git LFS client is required to clone this repository. Note that git clone will succeed without git lfs available, but some large files will not be fetched.

All tests are in the directory tests/. If you have the rerobots package installed, then you can

make check

to run static analysis and tests that do not require a rerobots API token. Recent results on Travis CI are available at https://travis-ci.com/github/rerobots/py

Several other commands are available to run subsets of tests or create coverage reports. For example, to run tests that do not touch production servers:

make checklocal

and to measure code coverage: make checklocalcover. To view the coverage report, direct your Web browser at tests/cover/index.html

To build the User’s Guide:

make doc

and direct your Web browser at doc/build/index.html

There are extra tests (not run during make check) that interact with production servers in a way that requires an API token and that may cause billing against the associated user account. These tests are only of interest if you plan to contribute internal changes to this Python package.
