The official DataSift API library for Python.
Project description
This is the official Python library for accessing DataSift APIs.
Getting Started
To get started choose one of our quick start guides:
Installation
Install with pip:
pip install datasift
Install from source:
git clone https://github.com/datasift/datasift-python.git cd datasift-python python setup.py install
Usage
Full documentation is available at http://datasift.github.io/datasift-python
Supported Operating Environment
This version of the client library has been tested, and is known to work against the following language versions and Operating Systems:
Language versions
Python 2.6
Python 2.7
Python 3.4
Python 3.5
pypy 2.7
Operating Systems
Linux
BSD
OS X
Windows 7/8/10 (only with python 2.x) (upstream bug here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7626>)
Style Guide
This code should conform to pep8, with the exception of E501, the 79 character line limit.
It can be style checked with the pep8 module by running pep8 --show-source --ignore=E501 datasift/*.py
Requirements
Supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3, as well as pypy. Uses requests, autobahn, six, twisted, pyopenssl and dateutil.
On non-Windows systems, the twisted and pyopenssl packages require the Python and OpenSSL development headers before they can be installed. These are usually provided by distribution package managers in a separate package to the main packages.
Windows users may need to use Python 2.7 due to compatability issues with the Twisted library
