Products.csvreplicata 1.1.8

Introduction
============

Allows to export and import AT objects contents and hierarchy.

It supports also other contents or objects via plugins (ZCA).
This part mainly targeted for a developper audiance, so see interfaces.py / adapters.py.


We have plans to integrate the export/import code with transmogrifier_, [ also_ ] but we have no ETA For now.

.. _transmogrifier: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.transmogrifier/
.. _also: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.transmogrifier/

Products.csvreplicata Installation
======================================

To install Products.csvreplicata into the global Python environment (or a workingenv),
using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:

* When you're reading this you have probably already run
``easy_install Products.csvreplicata``. Find out how to install setuptools
(and EasyInstall) here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall

* If you are using Zope 2.9 (not 2.10), get `pythonproducts`_ and install it
via::

python setup.py install --home /path/to/instance

into your Zope instance.

* Create a file called ``Products.csvreplicata-configure.zcml`` in the
``/path/to/instance/etc/package-includes`` directory. The file
should only contain this::

<include package="Products.csvreplicata" />

.. _pythonproducts: http://plone.org/products/pythonproducts


Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance
recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

* Add ``Products.csvreplicata`` to the list of eggs to install, e.g.

::

[buildout]
...
eggs =
...
Products.csvreplicata

* Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug

::

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
zcml =
Products.csvreplicata

* Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

$ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package
from another package's configure.zcml file.


Because its top level Python namespace package is called ``Products``, this
package can also be installed in Zope 2 as an old style **Zope 2 Product**.

For that, move (or symlink) the ``csvreplicata`` folder of this project
(``Products.csvreplicata/Products/csvreplicata``) into the ``Products`` directory of
the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and restart the server.

You can also skip the ZCML slug if you install this package the **Zope 2
Product** way.

Detailled documentation
=======================


Interfaces
-------------
import interfaces and classes ::

>>> from zope.interface.verify import verifyClass
>>> from zope.interface import implements
>>> from Products.csvreplicata.handlers.base import CSVdefault
>>> from Products.csvreplicata.handlers.file import CSVFile
>>> from Products.csvreplicata.interfaces import ICSVDefault, ICSVFile

Verify implementation ::

>>> verifyClass(ICSVDefault, CSVdefault)
True
>>> verifyClass(ICSVFile, CSVFile)
True



Export / Import in plain format
------------------------------------

Export
+++++++++
here we export folders and documents
::

>>> self.setRoles(['Manager'])
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc1' , title="Document 1")
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc2' , title="Document 2")

>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc4' , title="Document 4")
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Folder' , id='sub1' , title="mytest")
>>> id=self.folder.sub1.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc11' , title="Document 1 du dossier 1")
>>> id=self.folder.sub1.invokeFactory('News Item', id='news21' , title="news 1 du dossier 1")
>>> id=self.folder.sub1.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc31' , title="Document 2 du dossier 1")
>>> self.portal.portal_csvreplicatatool.getPlainFormat()

This output is not that good to deal with CSV apis, we will try to export it to a flat structure.

Redo the export but with a plugin that find the title on the object.

... print "plugin.setValue called with %s <-> %s" % (row, row_ids)
...
>>> provideAdapter(CustomExporter, (interfaces.Icsvreplicata, zope.interface.Interface), interfaces.ICSVReplicataExportImportPlugin, name ='fooplugin' )
>>> from csv import DictReader

>>> items = [item for item in DictReader(StringIO(content), delimiter=";", quotechar='"')]
>>> keys = items[0].keys();keys.sort()

As we cant predict order of the keys, doing some magic to order them before testing.

Import
+++++++++

Then, now that we got a working export, what about importing it
::

>>> id = self.folder.invokeFactory('Folder' , id='fa' , title="tests import")
>>> id = self.folder.invokeFactory('Folder' , id='fb' , title="tests import")
>>> fa = self.folder.fa; fb = self.folder.fb

Import in CSVReplicata plain format, an entry per line without contextual type hinting
::

>>> CSV = StringIO("""\

Default handlers
----------------

Verify the default handlers provided for Archetypes fields::

>>> handlersDict = self.portal.portal_csvreplicatatool.getHandlers()
>>> handlers = handlersDict.keys();handlers.sort()
>>> pprint(handlers)
['Products.Archetypes.Field.BooleanField',

What happened with csvreplicata during import/export if MyField is not in tool's
handlers. replicator.py apllies default_handler on it::

{'default_handler':
{'handler_class': base.CSVdefault(),'file': False}}





The replicator exporter/downloader
------------------------------------

Export in normal mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
here we export folders and documents ::

>>> from Products.csvreplicata.browser import manager
>>> self.portal.portal_csvreplicatatool.replicabletypes = \
... {'Document':['default'], 'Folder':['default'],
... 'News Item': ['default'], 'File': ['default'] }
>>> import re
>>> self.setRoles(['Manager'])
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc1' , title="Document 1")
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('Document' , id='doc2' , title="Document 2")
>>> params = {"datetimeformat": '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S',
... "vocabularyvalue": "No",
... "encoding": "UTF-8",
... "delimiter": ";",
... "stringdelimiter": '"',
... "exportable_content_types": ["News Items", "Document", "Folder"],
... }
>>> req = make_request('/'.join(self.folder.getPhysicalPath())+'@@csvreplicata', **params)
>>> repl = manager.ReplicationManager(self.folder, req)
>>> from Products.csvreplicata import replicator
>>> print ''.join([a for a in repl.doExport()])
"/plone/Members/test_user_1_";...
"parent";"id";"type";"title";"description";"text";...
"Parent folder";"Identifier";"Content type";"Title";"label_summary";...
"";"doc1";"Document";"Document 1";"";...
"";"doc2";"Document";"Document 2";"";...
<BLANKLINE>

>>> items = list(req.response._headers.iteritems());items.sort();pprint(items)
[('content-disposition', ['attachment; filename=export.csv']),
('content-length', ['...']),
('content-type', ['text/csv;charset=UTF-8'])]


Export as zip when there are files out there and we want them
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now adding and exporting a file::

>>> params['exportfiles'] = 'Yes'
>>> params["exportable_content_types"].append('File')
>>> id=self.folder.invokeFactory('File', id='f1' , title="File 1")
>>> req = make_request('/'.join(self.folder.getPhysicalPath())+'@@csvreplicata', **params)
>>> f1 = self.folder.f1
>>> f1.getFile().data = 'foo'
>>> f1.setFilename('bar')
>>> repl = manager.ReplicationManager(self.folder, req)
>>> from StringIO import StringIO
>>> import zipfile
>>> content = StringIO([a for a in repl.doExport()][0])

The File Stream Iterator
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

This object returns a generator to read our big files!::

>>> from Products.csvreplicata.browser.manager import FileStreamIterator, EphemeralStreamIterator
>>> import tempfile
>>> fpath = tempfile.mkstemp('foo')[1]
>>> fobj = open(fpath, 'w');fobj.write('foo');fobj.close()
>>> len(FileStreamIterator(fpath))
3

We can play with chunks to divide rendering into small parts ::

>>> [[a for a in FileStreamIterator(fpath, chunk=chunk)] for chunk in [1,2, 3,4]]
[['f', 'o', 'o'], ['fo', 'o'], ['foo'], ['foo']]

>>> os.unlink(fpath)


The Ephemeral Stream Iterator
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


This object returns a generator to read our big files but delete them when they are read!::

>>> from Products.csvreplicata.browser.manager import FileStreamIterator, EphemeralStreamIterator
>>> import tempfile
>>> fdir = tempfile.mkdtemp(); fdir2 = tempfile.mkdtemp(dir=fdir);fpath = os.path.join(fdir2, 'foo')
>>> fobj = open(fpath, 'w');fobj.write('foo');fobj.close()

Files are there, we can ask to not delete parents (default)::

>>> [os.path.exists(p) for p in fdir,fdir2, fpath]
[True, True, True]
>>> len(EphemeralStreamIterator(fpath, delete_parent=False, delete_grand_parent=False))
3
>>> [a for a in EphemeralStreamIterator(fpath, delete_parent=False, delete_grand_parent=False)]
['foo']
>>> [os.path.exists(p) for p in fdir,fdir2, fpath]
[True, True, False]

We have read it, the file and the parent are deleted::

>>> fobj = open(fpath, 'w');fobj.write('foo');fobj.close()
>>> [a for a in EphemeralStreamIterator(fpath, delete_parent=True, delete_grand_parent=True)]
['foo']
>>> [os.path.exists(p) for p in fdir2, fdir, fpath]
[False, False, False]
