Usage

This small section outlines the steps to adapt pyexcel-webio for your favourite web framework. For illustration purpose, I took Flask micro-framework as an example.

Inherit ExcelInput class and implement load_single_sheet and load_book methods depending on the parameters you will have. For example, Flask.Request put the incoming file in Flask.Request.files and the key is the field name in the html form::

from flask import Flask, Request import pyexcel as pe from pyexcel.ext import webio

class ExcelRequest(webio.ExcelInput, Request): def _get_file_tuple(self, field_name): filehandle = self.files[field_name] filename = filehandle.filename extension = filename.split(".")[1] return extension, filehandle

 def load_single_sheet(self, field_name=None, sheet_name=None,
                       **keywords):
     file_type, file_handle = self._get_file_tuple(field_name)
     return pe.get_sheet(file_type=file_type,
                         content=file_handle.read(),
                         sheet_name=sheet_name,
                         **keywords)

 def load_book(self, field_name=None, **keywords):
     file_type, file_handle = self._get_file_tuple(field_name)
     return pe.get_book(file_type=file_type,
                        content=file_handle.read(),
                        **keywords)

Plugin in a response method that has the following signature::

def your_func(content, content_type=None, status=200):
    ....

or a response class has the same signature::

class YourClass:
    def __init__(self, content, content_type=None, status=200):
    ....

For example, with Flask, it is just a few lines::

from flask import Response


webio.ExcelResponse = Response

Then make the proxy for make_response series by simply copying the following lines to your extension::

from pyexcel.ext.webio import ( make_response, make_response_from_array, make_response_from_dict, make_response_from_records, make_response_from_book_dict )

Development guide

Development steps for code changes

#. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-webio.git #. cd pyexcel-webio

Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:

#. pip install --upgrade setuptools pip

Then install relevant development requirements:

#. pip install -r rnd_requirements.txt # if such a file exists #. pip install -r requirements.txt #. pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Once you have finished your changes, please provide test case(s), relevant documentation and update CHANGELOG.rst.

.. note::

As to rnd_requirements.txt, usually, it is created when a dependent
library is not released. Once the dependecy is installed
(will be released), the future
version of the dependency in the requirements.txt will be valid.

How to test your contribution

Although nose and doctest are both used in code testing, it is adviable that unit tests are put in tests. doctest is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.

On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this::

$ make

On Windows systems, please issue this command::

> test.bat

How to update test environment and update documentation

Additional steps are required:

#. pip install moban #. git clone https://github.com/moremoban/setupmobans.git # generic setup #. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-commons.git commons #. make your changes in .moban.d directory, then issue command moban

What is pyexcel-commons

Many information that are shared across pyexcel projects, such as: this developer guide, license info, etc. are stored in pyexcel-commons project.

What is .moban.d

.moban.d stores the specific meta data for the library.
