responsys 0.1.8-alpha

Python client library for the Responsys Interact API

# Responsys Interact API python client #

A python library providing access to the Responsys Interact API.

## Install ##

Via pypi:

pip install responsys

Via source package:

cd responsys/ pip install .

## Usage ##

The [InteractClient](./responsys/client.py) provides the methods needed to work with the Interact API:

>>> from responsys.client import InteractClient
>>> client = InteractClient(username, password, pod)
>>> client.connect()
>>> client.merge_list_members(interact_object, records, merge_rules)
>>> client.disconnect()

Using the client class as a context manager will automatically connect using the credentials provided, and disconnect upon context exit:

>>> with InteractClient(username, password, pod) as client:
...     client.merge_list_members(interact_object, records, merge_rules)

Since responsys limits the number of active sessions per account, this can help ensure you don’t leave unused connections open.

## Development/Testing ##

Tests can be run via setuptools:

python setup.py nosetests

Installing requirements for development environment can be accomplished via pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Testing within a dev environment can be accomplished via `nosetests`. For convenience, this project also utilizes [testtube](https://github.com/thomasw/testtube). After creating the dev environment, simply run the `stir` command to have testtube run tests after changes to the project.
