Warning
This is not complete, this is used as a fast intro for those fairly familiar or a reference for those who are a little rusty with PyPump
This guide is designed to get you up to speed and using this library in a very short amount of time, to do that I avoid long winded explanations, if you’re completely new to PyPump and/or pump.io please use Tutorial.
So we need to get started:
>>> from pypump import PyPump
First time lets do all the oauth stuff:
>>> pump = PyPump("me@my.server.org", client_name="Quick 'n dirty")
Super, next, I wanna see my inbox:
>>> me = pump.Person("me@my.server.org")
>>> my_inbox = me.inbox
>>> for activity in my_inbox[:20]:
... print activity
Note
iterating over the inbox without any slice will iterate until the very first note in your inbox/feed/outbox
Oh, my friend Evan isn’t there, I probably need to follow him:
>>> evan = pump.Person("evan@e14n.org")
>>> evan.follow()
Awesome. Lets check again:
>>> for activity in my_inbox[:20]:
... print activity
Evan likes PyPump, super!:
>>> activity = my_inbox[1] # second activity in my inbox
>>> awesome_note = activity.obj
>>> awesome_note.content
'Oh wow, PyPump is awesome!'
>>> awesome_note.like()
I wonder if someone else has liked that:
>>> awesome_note.likes
[me@my.server.org, joar@some.other.server]
Cool! Lets tell them about these docs:
>>> my_comment = pump.Comment("Guys, if you like PyPump check out the docs!")
>>> awesome_note.comment(my_comment)
I wonder what was posted last:
>>> latest_activity = my_inbox[0]
>>> print latest_activity
<Activity: jrobb posted an image>
Oh it’s an image, lets see the thumb nail:
>>> url = latest_activity.obj.thumb_url
>>> fout = open("some_image.{0}".format(url.split(".")[-1], "wb")
>>> import urllib2 # this will be different with python3
>>> fout.write(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
>>> fout.close()
Hmm, I want to see a bigger version:
>>> large_url = latest_activity.obj.full_url
>>> print large_url
<Image at https://some.server/uploads/somefriend/2013/7/7/JkdX2.png">
>>> # you will find Images often hold other pump.Image objects, we just need to extra the url
>>> large_url = large_url.url
>>> fout = open("some_image_larger.{0}".format(large_url.split(".")[-1], "wb")
>>> fout.write(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
>>> fout.close()
That looks awesome, lets post a comment:
>>> my_comment = pump.Comment("Great, super imaeg")
>>> latest_activity.obj.comment(my_comment)
Oh no, I made a typo:
>>> my_comment.delete()
>>> my_comment.content = "Great, super image")
>>> latest_activity.obj.comment(my_comment)
Much better! Lets make a note to tell people how easy this all is:
>>> my_note = pump.Note("My gawd... PyPump is super easy to get started with")
>>> my_note.send()
But hold on though, that only sent it to followers? What gives:
>>> awesome_pump = pump.Note("PyPump is really awesome!")
>>> awesome_pump.to = pump.Public
>>> awesome_pump.cc = (pump.Followers, pump.Following, pump.Person("MyFriend@server.com"))
>>> awesome_pump.send()
Oh cool that’s sent to all my friends, So can i make my own lists:
>>> for my_list in pump.List.all():
... print my_list.name
Coworkers
Family
Friends
Oh are all those my lists that are defined. How do I send a note to them?:
>>> new_note = pump.Note("Work sucks!")
>>> new_note.to = pump.List("Coworkers")
>>> new_note.cc = pump.List("Friends)
So, can i send something to all of of the groups I made? Yep:
>>> another_note = pump.Note("This really goes to everyone in my groups?")
>>> another_note.to = pump.List.all()
>>> another_note.cc = (pump.Person("moggers87@microca.st"), pump.Person("cwebber@identi.ca"))
>>> another_note.send()
