Module and command-line utility to get data out of SharePoint
Project description
A Python library and command-line utility for gettting data out of SharePoint.
Usage
First, you need to create a SharePointSite object. We’ll assume you’re using basic auth; if you’re not, you’ll need to create an appropriate urllib2 Opener yourself.
from sharepoint import SharePointSite, basic_auth_opener
server_url = "http://sharepoint.example.org/"
site_url = server_url + "sites/foo/bar"
opener = basic_auth_opener(server_url, "username", "password")
site = SharePointSite(site_url, opener)
Lists
First, get a list of SharePoint lists available:
for sp_list in site.lists: print sp_list.id, sp_list.meta['Title']
You can look up lists by ID, or by name:
# By ID, without braces print site.lists['1EF5668C-0AB4-4020-98EF-26325E412C3C'] # By ID, with braces print site.lists['1EF5668C-0AB4-4020-98EF-26325E412C3C'] # By name print site.lists['ListName']
Given a list, you can iterate over its rows:
sp_list = site.lists['ListName'] for row in sp_list.rows: print row.id, row.FieldName
It’s not yet possible to modify lists using this library.
Command-line utility
Here’s how to get a list of lists from a SharePoint site:
$ sharepoint --site-url=http://sharepoint.example.org/sites/foo/bar \ --username=username --password=password
And here’s how to get an entire list as XML:
$ sharepoint --site-url=http://sharepoint.example.org/sites/foo/bar \ --list-name=ListName \ --username=username --password=password
You can also specify a file containing username and password in the format ‘username:password’:
$ sharepoint --credentials=path/to/credentials [...]
For help, use -h:
$ sharepoint -h
