wmclient 2.3.0

WURFL Microservice client for Python

wmclient - WURFL Microservice Client for Python

Differences between version 2.2.0 and previous ones.

Version 2.2.0 makes WURFL microservice client backward compatible with Python 2.7. To do that it replaces two libraries that are available for Python 3.x only:

• pywurfl (replaced by urrllib3)
• @lru_cache (replaced by pylru)

While in older versions cache was used by default, in this version you'll have to use the set_cache_size function of the client to ensure it is created and used.

Python WURFL Microservice Client

WURFL Microservice (by ScientiaMobile, Inc.) is a mobile device detection service that can quickly and accurately detect over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types of devices that have a web browser.

This is the Python Client API for accessing the WURFL Microservice. The API is released under Open-Source and can be integrated with other open-source or proprietary code. In order to operate, it requires access to a running instance of the WURFL Microservice product, such as:

• WURFL Microservice for Docker: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-docker-detect-device/

• WURFL Microservice for AWS: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-device-detection-microservice-aws/

• WURFL Microservice for Azure: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-azure/

• WURFL Microservice for Google Cloud Platform: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-gcp/

Python implementation of the WM Client api. Requires:

• Python 2.7 or 3.x
• pip
• pycurl module (you can install it with pip install pycurl)
• requests module (you can install it with pip install requests)
• pylru module (you can install it with pip install pylru)

The Example project contains an example of client api usage for a script :

from wmclient import *
from requests import Request as HttpRequest

try:
    client = WmClient.create("http", "localhost", 8080, "")

    info = client.get_info()
    print("Printing WM server information")
    print("WURFL API version: " + info.wurfl_api_version)
    print("WM server version:  " + info.wm_version)
    print("Wurfl file info: " + info.wurfl_info)
