rtquery 0.10.1

Abstract

Simplifies query interface for Request Tracker’s rest-api lib RT Library. Main query interface has been take from Django Framework project

Requirements

• Python 3.4+

• RT Library (it’s not dependency itself, but it uses in examples)

Usage

import rt

client = rt.Rt('http://localhost/rt/REST/1.0/',
               basic_auth=('user', 'password'))
assert client.login()
#: rt filtering does not support `in` operation, so interface looks similar
#: to django querying, but it sticks to its limits.
query = Q(Subject__contains='[improvements]') | Q(Subject__contains='[enhancements]')
query &= Q(Queue='development', Status='sprint', Owner='User',
           Priority__gt=80)
result = client.search(Queue=rt.ALL_QUEUES, raw_query=query.resolve())
print(result)

Extra functionality

In addition to existent rtquery.Q you can also try to use utils.query builder which is simple dsl to make Q objects from user input (argument parser for example)

from rtquery.utils import query
qset = query("Queue = development & Status = sprint & Owner ~ user")
result = client.search(Queue=rt.ALL_QUEUES, raw_query=query.resolve())
# ...
