Py3K early access 3 3

[Lorenzo Angeli 11]

Please note, the current development status is in Beta stage and is not suitable for production.

Welcome to the ftrack-python-api tech preview for python 3.x compatibility.
Here are some brief instructions on how to start testing the upcoming release of the new API.

We strongly recommend sandboxing the testing environment using virtualenv.

Prepare your sandbox

Create a virtualenv with the Python 3 interpreter:

$ virtualenv -p `which python3.6` ~/ftrack_python_api_py3k

Activate virtualenv:

$ source ~/ftrack_python_api_py3k/bin/activate

Install

Install from the development branch:

$ pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-python-api.git@backlog/ftrack-python-api-compatibility-with-python-3

Test

Run python from virtualenv and check that everything is in place:

(ftrack_python_api_py3k) $ python -V
(ftrack_python_api_py3k) $ Python 3.6.5

You can now start the Python interpreter and start using the API as usual.

>>> from ftrack_api import Session
>>> session = Session()
>>> projects = session.query('Project').all()
>>> print(projects)

If you need to use the Python3 and the ftrack module just run Python directly from the virtualenv using:

$ ~/ftrack_python_api_py3k/bin/python3 -c "import ftrack_api;print(ftrack_api.__version__)"

Bug reporting

Please use this thread to report issues and bugs.

When reporting bugs, please remember to include:

* Operating system in use.
* Python version in use (use: python -V).
* Full stack trace or error.

Installing and testing the api in Blender

• Go to the blender's python folder (blender <version>/<version>/python/bin/)
• Ensure pip is installed with:

  ./Python3.7m  -m ensurepip

   

• Install the api using pip: 

  ./pip3 install git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-python-api.git@backlog/ftrack-python-api-compatibility-with-python-3

• Launch Blender and open Python Console to test the api
