postal-admin-client

A python 3.5+ admin client for the open source mail delivery platform postal.

This package is only for postal administrators and do not include support for the message and send API.

Postal currently don't have a proper HTTP API for administation so we rely on faking a brower filling forms and dealing with csrf tokens to make rails happy.

This can for example be used to manage and create new organizations.

This package can be installed from PyPI

pip install postal-admin-client

Example

Initalize client

>> import postal_admin_client
>>
>> client = postal_admin_client.Client(
>>     'https://postal.example.com',
>>     email='[email protected]',
>>     password='myhopefullysecurepassword',
>> )

List/create/delete organization

>> client.list_organizations()
[{'name': 'Anansi Technologies', 'shortname': 'at'},
 {'name': 'Council of Venice', 'shortname': 'cov'},
 {'name': 'Orochi Group', 'shortname': 'og'}]
>> client.create_organization('Illuminati')
{'name': 'Illuminati', 'shortname': 'il'}
>> client.delete_organization('il')

List and create/invite users

>> client.list_users('il')
[{'name': 'Kirsten Geary', 'email': '[email protected]'},
 {'name': 'Alex McCall', 'email': '[email protected]'}]
>> client.create_user('il', '[email protected]', admin=False)

Supported Operations

  • List organizations
  • Create organization
  • Delete organization
  • List users in organization
  • Invite user to organization

Dev Setup

Basic Setup

python -m virtualenv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python setup.py develop

Tests

pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
tox

Improvements

  • Properly parse out validation errors. For example: create_user raises HTTPError(422) in three different cases and it would be useful for the user to easily be able to separate between them.
  • Add CLI support
  • Support more operations

Logging

This package is using logging. You can configure logging behaviour (handler, log level, propagation etc) by obtaining the logger for this package.

logger = logging.getLogger('postal_admin_client')
