Entity X-Factor Industries	Posted - 2007.07.10 10:55:00 - [1] Yesterday I released the Python EVE API wrapper I've been working on. You can find it here: Python EVE API This wrapper has no external dependencies and will work with any Python version from 2.4 onward, and will likely work with future versions of the EVE API. An extensive demonstration script is provided. Feel free to post suggestions for improvements and bug reports here, or mail me ingame. ‌_ Got Item? \| Ship? \| Python EVE API?

Macdeth Ephemeral Misgivings	Posted - 2007.12.12 18:06:00 - [9] Appears to bail on KillLog, CorporationSheet, and I think I saw it somewhere else but API server just went down as I was checking while composing this. Thanks for writing & actively supporting this thus saving a whole bunch of us the effort!

The KillLog error is indeed a bug in my code, and it's been fixed. v1.0.3 now available for download. However it looks like CorporationSheet is missing the required columns attribute, which is a bug in the XML. I have informed Garthagk about this and it'll be fix0red SoonÖ Thanks for pointing this out. _ Got Item? \| Ship? \| Python EVE API?

Invisible Hand	Posted - 2007.12.21 10:04:00 - [12] Useful module, thanks for writing this! Minor bug report: in _autocast() you do: return int(mktime(strptime(s, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))) However the time strings are in UTC, while mktime expects a tuple in the local timezone. So the parsed values are not the expected seconds-since-epoch value unless your local timezone happens to match UTC. This means that (among other things) you can't just compare cachedUntil to time.time(). I changed my copy to use calendar.timegm() instead of time.mktime() and it works perfectly now - all the time values are parsed into seconds-since-epoch.
Elandra Tenari Gallente StateCorp Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2007.12.21 17:17:00 - [13] Thanks for writing this, it's proving very useful. One minor bug I found whilst processing KillLogs is that the raw Element for the Victim has no attributes. So I changed the if self.container._isrow: section of the tag_end function to pick up attributes on single elements. My updated version here.

I guess it depends on which way you look at the problem :) I'm not really a fan of timezone stuff in programming, so I might very well be doing this the wrong way around...

I guess it depends on which way you look at the problem :) I'm not really a fan of timezone stuff in programming, so I might very well be doing this the wrong way around... Comments, anyone? The usual way of dealing with this sort of thing is to work internally in seconds-since-epoch and then convert to timezones only when actually outputting data. seconds-since-epoch identifies a particular instant in time unambiguously, regardless of what timezone you are in, so it's much easier to work with that. I assumed that since _autocast() was converting to an integer, it was meant to be converting seconds-since-epoch since that's what all the time functions expect to see and it's the most common integer representation of time around.. What do you mean by "convert your local time to UTC before comparing"? If you're dealing in seconds-since-epoch values, that's independent of timezone already, you shouldn't need to do any conversion at all. Note that without this change the simple&obvious caching mechanism used in apitest.py just doesn't work with any local timezone other than UTC. You might want to have a dig around in 'pydoc time', it has a good summary of the different representations.

Actually, it works fine since im using the server times and calculate seconds-til-expiry and add it to local time. Have you actually tried it?

Durente Galaica Amarr Fortunate Few	Posted - 2008.03.04 21:12:00 - [22] I really like this wrapper, and Entity's comments are great for quick and meaningful interpretation. But if you're like me, you will stop working on a project for a few weeks and forget what certain classes and methods do. Then you must dig through the source code, to find the commented section. Thankfully python allows you to modify the __doc__ file, just by the way you comment! Just take Entity's current comments and change them so slightly to produce the desired result, following this example: (Pretend the .......'s are whitespace) >>> class foo(): ....... ''' ... This is how you write multiple ....... ....... line comments. .......''' .......def __init__(self): ....... ....... "This is a one line comment" ..............pass >>> help(foo) Help on class foo in module __main__: class foo \| This is how you write multiple \| line comments. \| \| Methods defined here: \| \| __init__(self) \| ...... This is a one line comment >>> help(foo.__init__) Help on method __init__ in module __main__: __init__(self) unbound __main__.foo method .... This is a one line comment It's great to see that you continue to support this Entity. Thanks for all the work you have put into this!
Demiurgis	Posted - 2008.03.06 06:25:00 - [23] Edited by: Demiurgis on 06/03/2008 06:25:58 this is really cool, I think I am going to use this in a project for my python class. The teacher wants us to use a few modules, and this could be one of them will most of this work with a limited API key?
Kanmahr	Posted - 2008.03.09 11:56:00 - [24] Great work. There does however seem to be a problem with the trained to level of a skill. The values the API returns seem to be one over the current level. Currently working around it but would be nice to fix :) Cheers!!!!
Flios Bror Brotherhood of the Phoenix Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2008.03.28 22:04:00 - [25] First of all: thanks for making this library, it makes programming a lot easier. And while reading the source-code of the library I learned new things to do in python. I have a few questions: What is the syntax for getting the next page, of for example the WalletJournal. I know it's an exercise for the reader, but I didn't manage to find the documentation for this in the library source-code yet. How can I get the date+times for the currentTime and the cachedUntil from a element-object returned from a query? Last a more general API-question: when several accounts have access to corporate WalletJournal, is the caching-time for everyone at the same time, or is it for each account seperately? [None]
Entity X-Factor Industries Synthetic Existence	Posted - 2008.04.16 01:46:00 - [26] Edited by: Entity on 16/04/2008 01:47:35 Hm I should be paying more attention to this thread. Too bad this board doesn't let you "subscribe" to threads. Anyway... Originally by: Flios Bror What is the syntax for getting the next page, of for example the WalletJournal. I know it's an exercise for the reader, but I didn't manage to find the documentation for this in the library source-code yet. You simply add the appropriate beforeRefID=X (where X is the refID of the last/oldest entry of the last query) to the subsequent query. Originally by: Flios Bror How can I get the date+times for the currentTime and the cachedUntil from a element-object returned from a query? the currentTime and cachedUntil are available through the _meta attribute on the result root, like this: result = api.blablabla() foo = result._meta.currentTime Originally by: Flios Bror Last a more general API-question: when several accounts have access to corporate WalletJournal, is the caching-time for everyone at the same time, or is it for each account seperately? Not sure, there's a lot of different caching schemes used :-/ Originally by: Kanmahr Great work. There does however seem to be a problem with the trained to level of a skill. The values the API returns seem to be one over the current level. Currently working around it but would be nice to fix :) Seeing as this wrapper does not have any code that deals with skill levels, nor have any knowledge of the methods exposed by the server, it's problem CCP would have to fix (if it's still the case) Originally by: Demiurgis will most of this work with a limited API key? Limited keys only give limited access! (who would have guessed?) You can do plenty of fun stuff with limited keys though. Check the API reference Thanks everyone, for the feedback :) _ Got Item? \| EVE API?
bowindah	Posted - 2008.07.05 17:51:00 - [27] Nice wrapper. I am trying to use it with AssetList which returns nested rowsets. The following works, for asset in result2.assets: self.response.out.write("%s<br/>" % asset) Sometimes it returns, Row(itemID:271302566,locationID:61000108,typeID:588,quantity:1,flag:4,singleton:1,contents:Rowset(columns=[itemID,typeID,quantity,flag,singleton], rows=3)) whereas other times it returns, Row(itemID:561829276,locationID:61000108,typeID:11489,quantity:1,flag:4,singleton:1,contents:None) So my question is, how to test and enumerate over the nested Rowset?
