fetchcode 0.2.0

Why FetchCode?

It is surprisingly difficult to have a simple API to consistently fetch code from package repositories, version control repositories and APIs: each site and each package manager has its own unique and peculiar ways. FetchCode goal is to abstract all these details and make it easy to fetch things reliably.

Development installation

git clone https://github.com/nexB/fetchcode

Running tests

To run test suite use:

pytest -vvs

Usage

>>> from fetchcode import fetch
>>> f = fetch('https://github.com/nexB/fetchcode/archive/ab65b2e645c889887227ea49eb3332d885fd0a54.zip')
>>> f.location
'/tmp/tmp_cm02xsg'
>>> f.content_type
'application/zip'
>>> f.url
'https://github.com/nexB/fetchcode/archive/ab65b2e645c889887227ea49eb3332d885fd0a54.zip'

Fetch some package metadata and get a fetchcode.packagedcode_models.Package object back:

>>> from fetchcode import package
>>> list(package.info('pkg:rubygems/files'))
[Package(type='rubygems', namespace=None, name='files', version=None)]
