A simple API, built for humans wishing to develop with Plone.

The intention is

* to cover 20% of the tasks any Plone developer does 80% of the time,
* to provide clear API methods for Plone functionality which may be confusing or difficult to access,
* keeping everything in one place,
* staying introspectable and discoverable, important aspects of being Pythonic.


Documentation
=============

`plone.api documentation <http://docs.plone.org/external/plone.api/docs/contribute/index.html>`_ is part of the official plone documentation.

``plone.api`` comes with *cookbook*-like documentation and step-by-step instructions for doing common development tasks in Plone.
Recipes try to assume the user does not have extensive knowledge about Plone internals.

-----------------------

[cewing]

[flohcim]

- Make all assertRaise() calls use the `with` keyword.
[winstonf88]

- Amend user.get method to accept a userid parameter, refs #112.
[cewing, xiru, winstonf88]

.. note::
This change fixes a bug in the earlier implementation that could cause
errors in some situations. This situation will only arise if the userid and
username for a user are not the same. If membrane is being used for content-
based user objects, or if email-as-login is enabled *and* a user has changed
their email address this will be the case. In the previous implementation
the username parameter was implicitly being treated as userid. The new
implementation does not do so. If consumer code is relying on this bug and
passing userid, and if that code uses the username parameter as a keyword
parameter, then lookup will fail. In all other cases, there should be no
difference.

- Add api.env.debug_mode() and api.env.test_mode(), refs #125.

change content, refs #115.
[rodfersou]

[zupo]

- More examples of good and bad code blocks in documentation, more information
on how to write good docstrings.
[zupo]
