The API has aggressive retry logic for connecting to a
server, which may make sense for situation where you have
connection blips or server restarts.
When you're first connecting to the API, however, connection
failures are almost certainly a sign of misconfiguration, so
now we fail fast.
The bot lib takes advantage of this API change by catching the
ZulipError exception and exiting gracefully.
When invoked with search terms, twitter bot looks for these terms
in the content of a message to find out if they match. However,
Twitter can return messages that don't directly contain a search term.
This commit adds the tweeter user handle and expanded urls to the
places to look for a search term.
This parameter was intended to control whether we give a long timeout
and related behavior, but it was accidentally not being passed into
the second layer of the library from the first.
While we're fixing it, make it actually limit the length of a timeout
to something reasonable.
The only problem with this resulting code is that setup_path_on_import
only works if the Python versions are the same, so you need to run
this with Python 3 in that case.
We try to resolve that for use on Zulip servers with
zulip/zulip:47c5aae5b242fb6d2f5e860602e0fc0af68419bb; since that's the
main case where the code path runs, that should be good enough.
These were quite messy code, and now that almost nobody is running
their own zephyr mirroring script (vs. using webathena), making the
zephyr mirroring script deployable outside the package isn't super
valuable.
It is not guaranteed that the integration scripts in
the Zulip repository even specify a `provision` option.
Therefore, checking the value of this option would fail.
Updating this with getattr and a default value.
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.
