spyne 2.13.8a0

A transport and architecture agnostic rpc library that focuses on exposing public services with a well-defined API.

Homepage: http://spyne.io

Spyne aims to save the protocol implementers the hassle of implementing their own remote procedure call api and the application programmers the hassle of jumping through hoops just to expose their services using multiple protocols and transports.

Changelog

spyne-2.13.4-alpha

• Date(format="%Y") no longer works. Use Date(date_format="%Y") just like the api docs say

spyne-2.13.3-alpha

• Add support for sqlalchemy-1.2.

• Implement _logged for @rpc.

• Fix memory leak in ComplexModelBase.as_dict.

• Switch to homegrown jenkins as test infrastructure. See https://jenkins.arskom.com.tr

• Fix decimal totalDigits blunder.

spyne-2.13.2-alpha

• ServiceBase is deprecated in favor of Service. It’s just a name change in order to make it consistent with the rest of the package. ServiceBase will be kept until Spyne 3.

• Introduced internal keys for services and methods. Uniqueness is enforced during Application instantiation. If your server refuses to boot after migrating to 2.13 raising MethodAlreadyExistsError, explicitly setting a unique __service_name__ in one of the offending ServiceBase subclasses should fix the problem.

  See 2fee1435c30dc50f7503f0915b5e56220dff34d0 for the change.

• EXPERIMENTAL library-wide Python 3 Support! Yay!

  • MessagePack uses backwards-compatible raws with a hard-coded UTF-8 encoding for Unicode (non-ByteArray) types. Please open an issue if not happy with this.

  • It’s the transports’ job to decide on a codec. Use UTF-8 when in doubt, as that’s what we’re doing.

  • Avoid the async keyword for Python 3.7.

  • Float rounding behaviour seems to have changed in Python 3. In Python 2, round(2.5) = 3 and round(3.5) = 4 whereas in Python 3, round(2.5) = 2 and round(3.5) = 4. This is called half-to-even rounding and while being counterintuitive, it seems to make better sense from a statistical standpoint.

    You will have to live with this or use decimal.Decimal.

    This changes the way datetime and time microseconds are rounded. See test_datetime_usec and test_time_usec in spyne.test.model.test_primitive.

• spyne.model.Unicode used to tolerate (i.e. implicitly but not-so-silenty casted to str) int values. This is no longer the case. If you want to set proper numbers to a Unicode-designated field, you must provide a casting function. Generally, Unicode(cast=str) is what you want to do. See d495aa3d56451bd02c0076a9a1f14c6450eadc8e for the change.

• exc_table is deprecated in favour of exc_db. Please do a s/exc_table/exc_db/g in your codebase when convenient.

• Django 1.6 support dropped. Supporting 1.7-1.10.

• Bare methods with non-empty output now have descriptior.body_style = spyne.BODY_STYLE_EMPTY_OUT_BARE, which was spyne.BODY_STYLE_EMPTY before. This hould not break anything unless you are doing some REAL fancy stuff in the method decorators or service events.

• Auxproc is DEPRECATED. Just get rid of it.

• spyne.protocol.dictdoc.simple, spyne.server.twisted.http and spyne.server.django are not experimental anymore.

• No major changes otherwise but we paid a lot of technical debt. e.g. We revamped the test infrastructure.

• _in_variable_names argument to @rpc was deprecated in favour of _in_arg_names

• _udp argument to @rpc was deprecated in favour of _udd. UDP is too well known as user datagram protocol which could be confusing.

• _when argument to @mrpc now needs to be a callable that satisfies the f(self, ctx) signature. It was f(self) before.

• Attachment is removed. It’s been deprecated since ages.

• Usual bug fixes.

spyne-2.12.15

• Fix graceful import failures for Python 3

spyne-2.12.14

• Fixed inclusive ranges for DateTime and friends. #506

• Turns out SQLAlchemy 1.1 causes funky crashes. We’re fixated on 1.0 until the issue can be investiaged.

• Implemented MIN_GC_INTERVAL to prevent excessive calls to gc.collect() See issue #472. PR: #515

spyne-2.12.13

• Dang.

spyne-2.12.12

• Return to pre 2.12 behaviour - coroutine exceptions are not silenced but sent up the stack. This is backport of 2.13 fix.

• Proper serialization of ComplexModels subclasses of other ComplexModels when initialized from lists.

• Minor bug fixes all around.

spyne-2.12.11

• Fix self-referential relationships pointing the wrong way

• Fix wrong use of string interpolation operator in logging call slowing Spyne down for no visible reason

• Detect and prevent name clashes between the foreign key column name and the object itself.

• Silence a lot of (wrong) customized class instantiation warnings.

spyne-2.12.10

• IpAddress types now support PostgreSQL’s PGInet.

• Drop trial for twisted tests and switch to pytest-twisted.

• _safe_set now returns True on success so that protocols can react accordingly.

• *DictDoc now logs properly whether a value is discarded or passed to the deserialized instance.

• Minor bug fixes here and there.

spyne-2.12.9

• Make DateTime handle unicode date format strings for Python 2.

• Fix idle timer not starting on connectionMade for MessagePackTransportBase

spyne-2.12.7

• Not beta anymore. Woo!

• Made ServiceBase subclasses reusable

• Implemented class customization via __getitem__.

• Fixed an ImportError running Python 3.4 under Pydev using PyCharm. (Eclipse still has issues, see issue #432. Any help would be much appreciated)

• Fixed DateTime corner case with μs values between 999995 and 999999.

• Help misguided user code that returns an int for a string type by implicitly yet not-so-silently converting the int/long to str.

• Fixed *Cloth sometimes getting stuck repr()'ing passed instance.

• Fixed SimpleDictDocument confusing a missing value and an empty value for array types. When the client wants to denote an empty array, it should pass array_field=empty. Normally it passes something along the lines of: array_field[0]=Something&array_field[1]=SomethingElse.

• Split MessagePackServerBase to MessagePackTransportBase and MessagePackServerBase. No API was harmed during this change.

• Implement optional idle timeout for MessagePackTransportBase.

• Add support for PGObjectJson, PGObjectXml and PGFileJson to sql table reflection.

• log_repr now consults NATIVE_MAP as a last resort before freaking out.

• Removed some dead code.

spyne-2.12.6-beta

• Thanks to issue #446 we noticed that in some cases, SOAP messages inside HTTP requests got processed even when the request method != ‘POST’. This got resolved, but you should check whether this is the case in your setup and take the necessary precautions before deploying Spyne.

spyne-2.12.[12345]-beta

• Many bugs fixed very quick.

spyne-2.12.0-beta

• XmlObject: Support for attribute_of is removed.

• NullServer now supports async.

• XmlCloth was rewritten while less sleep-deprived.

• ProtocolBase now also implements serializing primitives to unicode.

• Add initial support for input polymorphism to XmlDocument (parsing xsi:type). It’s an experimental feature.

• Add output polymorphism for all protocols. It’s off-by-default for XmlDocument and friends, on-by-default for others.

• Add stub implementation for SOAP 1.2

• Add initial implementation for SOAP 1.2 Faults.

• Remove the deprecated interface argument to Application.

• HierDictDocument’s broken wrapped dict support was fixed. Even though this is supposed to break compatibility with 2.11, virtually no one seems to use this feature. Only now it’s mature enough to be set on stone. Let us know!

• We now validate kwargs passed to @rpc. Be sure to test your daemons before deploying for production, because if you got leftovers, the server will refuse to boot!

• It’s now forbidden (by assert) to inherit from a customized class.

• It’s also forbidden (by convention) to instantiate a customized class. Don’t do it! The warning will be converted to an assert in the future.

spyne-2.11.0

• Experimental Python 3 Support for all of the Xml-related (non-Html) components.

• Add support for altering output protocol by setting ctx.out_protocol.

• Add returning ctx.out_string support to null server (The ostr argument).

• Add support for XmlData modifier. It lets mapping the data in the xml body to an object field via xsd:simpleContent.

• Remove deprecated JsonObject identifier. Just do a gentle s/JsonObject/JsonDocument/g if you’re still using it.

• SQLAlchemy: Implement storing arrays of simple types in a table.

• SQLAlchemy: Make it work with multiple foreign keys from one table to another.

• SQLAlchemy: Implement a hybrid file container that puts file metadata in a json column in database and and file data in file system. Fully supported by all protocols as a binary File.Value instance.

• Implement an Xml Schema parser.

• Import all model markers as well as the @rpc, @srpc, @mrpc, ServiceBase and Application to the root spyne package.

• Implement JsonP protocol.

• Implement SpyneJsonRpc 1.0 protocol – it supports request headers.

  Sample request: {"ver":1, "body": {"div": [4,2]}, "head": {"id": 1234}} Sample response: {"ver":1, "body": 2}

  Sample request: {"ver":1, "body": {"div": {"dividend":4,"divisor":0]}} Sample response: {"ver":1, "fault": {"faultcode": "Server", "faultstring": "Internal Error"}}}

• Steal and integrate the experimental WebSocket tranport from Twisted.

• Support Django natively using spyne.server.django.DjangoView and spyne.server.django.DjangoServer.

• It’s now possible to override the JsonEncoder class JsonDocument uses.

• Remove hard-coded utf-8 defaults from almost everywhere.

• Remove hard-coded pytz.utc defaults from everywhere. Use spyne.LOCAL_TZ to configure the default time zone.

• As a result of the above change, datetime objects deserialized by Spyne are forced to the above time zone during soft validation (nothing should have changed from the user code perspective).

• Add default_factory to ModelBase customizer. It’s a callable that produces default values on demand. Suitable to be used with e.g. lambdas that return mutable defaults.

• New spyne.util.AttrDict can be used for passing various dynamic configuration data.

• child_attrs can now be passed to the ComplexModelBase customizer in order to make object-specific in-place customizations to child types.

• Add mapper between Django models and spyne.util.django.DjangoComplexModel types.

• Spyne now tracks subclasses and adds them to the interface if they are in the same namespace as their parent.

• Simple dictionary protocol’s hier_delim default value is now ‘.’

• Fixes support for XmlAttributes with max_occurs>1 referencing the same ‘attribute_of’ element in a ComplexModel subclass.

• Renders spyne.model.File as twisted.web.static.File when using HttpRpc over TwistedWebResource. This lets twisted handle Http 1.1-specific functionality like range requests.

• Many, many, many bugs fixed.
