pysip2's Introduction

Python3 SIP2 Client Library

Running Example Code

$ cp pysip2-client.ini.example pysip2-client.ini

Modify the [client] section of pysip2-client.ini to point it at your SIP2 server.

$ PYTHONPATH=src examples/sc-status.py
$ PYTHONPATH=src examples/item-info-request.py <item_barcode>
$ PYTHONPATH=src examples/checkout.py <item_barcode> <patron_barcode>
$ PYTHONPATH=src examples/checkin.py <item_barcode>
# ...

There is also a SIP shell for manually entering commands and seeing message responses. The shell will look for a pysip2-client.ini in the working directory. If found, it will be used to initialize the shell. Otherwise, all connection values must be manually entered into the shell.

$ PYTHONPATH=src python3 src/pysip2/shell.py
