Quite a few changes, mostly behind the scenes. However, backwards compatibility is broken for the Url
class. It is now a dictionary, behaving like dictionary. It still has the method
and original_url
attributes but no longer has dot access to the response data.
Why? Treating those Url
dictionary keys as class attributes wasn't pythonic; it was a JavaScripty approach that just doesn't fit the expectation of a Python dict
. Before you could make a request, get a response and access the data in two ways: response.title
and response['title']
. Now you can only use response['title']
. The first way will throw an error. See #15 for more info.
New--
setup.py test
is availablesetup.py
uses2to3
conversion during the build process for Python 3- test coverage at 100% (for all tested versions of Python)
- response data can be serialized (e.g. data is received as JSON and can be turned back into JSON)
Fixed--
- str vs unicode in Python 3 for the
Url
class - HTTP connections are properly closed
- properly decoding response data in
Embedly.get_services()
- cleaner version reporting
Removed--
- dot/attribute access for
Url
dictionary data - Python 3.1 support (which may not have worked anyway)
