Topic: PyDataverse 0.3.2 release

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 10:36):

@Philip Durbin I have also released new versions of EasyDataverse and DVUploader. I am considering writing a newsletter for the group to detail the new offerings in Python. Should we combine them or keep them separate?

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 10:40):

Hmm, I'm leaning toward combining at least pyDataverse and EasyDataverse.

python-dvuploader is more easily used by mortals. :grinning:

But any combo including separate posts is fine with me!

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 12:34):

Sounds good to me :smile:

Here is the releases draft. What to do you think?

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 12:34):

We are excited to announce the release of the latest patch version of pyDataverse after a significant period of inactivity. This update brings a range of new functionalities and bug fixes, aimed at improving the stability and performance of the pyDataverse library.

The library has been equipped with a CI/CD pipeline to ensure consistent integration into Dataverse. To achieve this, we have utilized the Dataverse Action which uses the progress made by the Dataverse Containerization Working Group to create local instances of Dataverse with ease. This has made contributions safer and made it easier to test for incoming pull requests.

PyDataverse has also switched from the requests library to HTTPX, a powerful library for performing HTTP requests. The library offers better performance and compatibility and allows async requests, which were previously impossible. For more information on how to use the new async, please refer to the corresponding PR https://github.com/gdcc/pyDataverse/pull/175.

Finally, pyDataverse's building and dependency management has been transferred to pyproject.toml from setup.py. The current de facto standard in packaging Python projects offers numerous advantages over setup.py while maintaining compatibility with the pip installer.

Before I read this... was it generated by AI? Did you push the button we talked about? :crazy:

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 12:55):

Hehe the "Whats Changed" and "New contributors" has been generated by GitHub. I have written the other parts with the help of Grammarly AI to sound more native :grinning:

This is fine but in the future, I would think this should go in some docs.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 12:59):

Should we add closed issues as well? I'm thinking especially of #python > add content-type=application/json header

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 14:08):

I agree, it should and will be part of the docs.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:10):

I'm making some tweaks. Please forgive me.

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:11):

Thanks for adding the links! Wanted to do this once the text has been approved :smile:

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:11):

I also changed a word or two.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:12):

The calendar link doesn't work in a private/incognito window.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:13):

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:13):

Yes, works for me

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:13):

But does not work in a private tab

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:14):

Guess it requires to be logged into a google acc?

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:14):

huh, works in a private tab for me

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:15):

Works once logged into my Google Account

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:16):

Weird. Well, we can fix it after.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:16):

I already changed it, sorry. Not sure why it works for me but not you.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:17):

probably I should set up dataverse.org/calendar or something or gdcc.io/calendar

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:17):

anyway, are you gonna ship it on a Friday? :rocket:

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:18):

Happy to ship it today, but if there is a better day we can also wait

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2024 at 15:18):

Up to you! :crazy:

Jan Range (May 10 2024 at 15:21):

Hmm, let's ship the update on GitHub today and drop the newsletter on Monday. This way, we catch the American users today and Europeans on Monday. Guess most people in my timezone are already off from work :stuck_out_tongue:
