To do so, we need to import all required internal modules after the
script had the option to provision. The provisioning itself is then
done by zulip.init_from_options().
As the first unittest, this creates a test directory and
abnd adds it tho the excluded pip package files.
There are two `tests` directories now, one in zulip_botserver and one in
zulip. This confuses the unittest runner, leading to failed test imports.
Therefore, we need to tell the package importer that there are multiple
tests directories, all of which should be considered for a search.
I'm not thrilled with the `replace` error handler losing information
if the logfile contains invalid UTF-8 for some reason; but that sure
beats a UnicodeDecodeError, and for this script I can't quite be
bothered to run the rather tricky riddle trail that Python 3 makes it
to pass arbitrary byte data through layers of ordinary text processing.
Previously, if you didn't specify a list of `event_types` in either `register` or `call_on_each_event`, you'd get an exception due to the invalid event format.
This fixes#86.
With the new repo, doing a `pip install -e ./zulip` will be a part
of the core workflow. This mitigates the risk of developers
accidentally testing their changes against an installed copy of the
zulip package rather than the copy in their checkout. Therefore,
we can now get rid of the various `sys.path.inserts` in the examples.
In order to keep all three packages (zulip, zulip_bots,
zulip_botserver) in the same repo, all package files must now
be nested one level deeper.
For instance, python-zulip-api/zulip_bots/zulip_bots/bots/, instead
of python-zulip-api/zulip_bots/bots/.
Apparently, PyPI is very strict about package file names. Once you
upload files for 0.3.0, and only wish to make minor changes and
re-release it as the same version, it doesn't let you and complains
about identical file names.
Instead of using the `scripts` keyword, we now use the
`console_scripts` entry point to point to the zulip-send script
to be installed. This is what the Python Packaging User Guide
recommends for better cross-platform compatibility.
This adds support for controlling the basic configuration (user, API
key, etc.) of the Zulip API bindings via environment variables.
Fixes#3364.
Tweaked by tabbott to update variable names and document in README.md.
