This Python project implements the REST API of SW360 and allows an easy way to interact with SW360.

Have a look at the documentation: https://sw360.github.io/sw360python/

This project is available as Python package on PyPi.org.
Install sw360 and required dependencies:

  pip install sw360 requests

• Get a REST API token from your SW360 server

• Export required environment variables (optionally but recommended):

  export SW360ProductionToken=<your_api_token>

• Start using the API:

  import sw360
  client = sw360.SW360(sw360_url, sw360_api_token)

• All contributions in form of bug reports, feature requests or merge requests!
• Use proper docstrings to document
  functions and classes
• Extend the testsuite poetry run pytest with the new functions/classes
• The documentation website can automatically be generated by the Sphinx autodoc extension

The documentation of the project is built using Sphinx:

poetry run sphinx-build ./docs-source/ ./docs/

For building the library, you need Poetry.
The build is then triggered using

poetry build

This creates the source and wheel files in dist/ subdirectory -- which can then be
uploaded or installed locally using pip.

Start the complete test suite or a specific test case (and generate coverage report):

poetry run pytest

or

poetry run coverage run -m pytest
poetry run coverage report -m --omit "*/site-packages/*.py"
poetry run coverage html --omit "*/site-packages/*.py"

The script check_project.py shows how to use the library to retrieve some information
of a given project on SW360. This requires colorama>=0.4.1.
