CARTO dataservices API python module

This directory contains the python library used by the server side of CARTO LDS (Location Data Services).

It is used from pl/python functions contained in the cdb_dataservices_server extension. It goes hand in hand with the extension so please consider running the integration tests.

On the other hand, it is pretty independent from the client, as long as the signatures of the public pl/python functions match.

Dependencies

See the [[requirements.txt]] or better the Basically:

  • pip
  • redis and hiredis
  • dateutil
  • googlemaps
  • request

Installation

Install the requirements:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the library:

sudo pip install .

NOTE: a system installation is required at present because the library is meant to be used from postgres pl/python, which runs an embedded python interpreter.

Just run nosetests test/

$ nosetests test/
