wpdatabase2 0.0.13

A Python package that checks and/or sets up a WordPress database.

py-wordpress-database

A big call out to @cariad for the original version of this library

A Python package that sets up a WordPress database.

wpdatabase2 will:

• Provide a way to check to see if the wordpress database already exists
• Return the version details of the wordpress database (if it exists)
• Create the database, if it doesn't exist already.
• Create the WordPress user, if it doesn't exist already.

wpdatabase2 is idempotent; if the database and the user already exist then it will return successfully.

Note that wpdatabase2 currently only supports MySQL databases.

Installation

pip install wpdatabase2

Prerequisites

wpdatabase2 assumes that the following properties have already been set in the wp-config.php file:

Property	Description
DB_HOST	Host or endpoint of the MySQL database server.
DB_USER	WordPress database user.
DB_PASSWORD	WordPress database password.

If you need help adding these values to wp-config.php then check out wpconfigr.

Command-line usage

If you need to specify to the database's administrator username and password:

python -m wpdatabase2 
        --wp-config      /www/wp-config.php \
        --admin-username garnet \
        --admin-password love

If you're deploying WordPress into Amazon Web Services (AWS) and have your administrator username and password held in Secrets Manager:

python -m wpdatabase2 
        --wp-config                       /www/wp-config.php \
        --admin-credentials-aws-secret-id AdminSecretID \
        --admin-credentials-aws-region    eu-west-1

import wpdatabase2

wpdb = WpDatabase('path to wp-config.php')
print(wpdb.get_database_version())
