Python APIs

Anitya can be used without its web front-end, if you so choose. Please be aware that Anitya is still in the early stages of development and its Python APIs are not stable.

Exceptions

Exceptions used by Anitya.

Authors:
Pierre-Yves Chibon <pingou@pingoured.fr>
exception anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaException[source]

Bases: Exception

Generic class covering all the exceptions generated by anitya.

exception anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaInvalidMappingException(pkgname, distro, found_pkgname, found_distro, project_id, project_name, link=None)[source]

Bases: anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaException

Specific exception class for invalid mapping.

message
exception anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaPluginException[source]

Bases: anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaException

Generic exception class that can be used by the plugin to indicate an error.

exception anitya.lib.exceptions.InvalidVersion(version, exception=None)[source]

Bases: anitya.lib.exceptions.AnityaException

Raised when the version string is not valid for the given version scheme.

Parameters:
  • version (str) – The version string that failed to parse.
  • exception (Exception) – The underlying exception that triggered this one.
exception anitya.lib.exceptions.ProjectExists(requested_project)[source]

Raised when a project already exists in the database.

This is only raised when a project is part of an ecosystem, since projects outside of an ecosystem have no uniqueness constraints.

to_dict()[source]

Database API

This package contains all the database-related code, including SQLAlchemy models, Alembic migrations, and a scoped session object configured from anitya.config

anitya.db.meta

This module sets up the basic database objects that all our other modules will rely on. This includes the declarative base class and global scoped session.

This is in its own module to avoid circular imports from forming. Models and events need to be imported by __init__.py, but they also need access to the Base model and Session.

class anitya.db.meta.Base(**kwargs)

Bases: anitya.db.meta._AnityaBase

Base class for the SQLAlchemy model base class.

query

sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query – a class property which produces a BaseQuery object against the class and the current Session when called. Classes that want a customized Query class should sub-class BaseQuery and explicitly set the query property on the model.

metadata = MetaData(bind=None)
class anitya.db.meta.BaseQuery(entities, session=None)[source]

Bases: sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query

A base Query object that provides queries.

paginate(page=None, items_per_page=None, order_by=None)[source]

Retrieve a page of items.

Parameters:
  • page (int) – the page number to retrieve. This page is 1-indexed and defaults to 1.
  • items_per_page (int) – The number of items per page. This defaults to 25.
  • order_by (sa.Column or tuple) – One or more criterion by which to order the pages.
Returns:

A namedtuple of the items.

Return type:

Page

Raises:

ValueError – If the page or items_per_page values are less than 1.

class anitya.db.meta.Page[source]

Bases: anitya.db.meta._Page

A sub-class of namedtuple that represents a page.

items

object – The database objects from the query.

page

int – The page number used for the query.

items_per_page

int – The number of items per page.

total_items

int – The total number of items in the database.

as_dict()[source]

Return a dictionary representing the page.

Returns:
A dictionary representation of the page and its items, using
the __json__ method defined on the item objects.
Return type:dict
anitya.db.meta.Session = <sqlalchemy.orm.scoping.scoped_session object>

This is a configured scoped session. It creates thread-local sessions. This means that Session() is Session() is True. This is a convenient way to avoid passing a session instance around. Consult SQLAlchemy’s documentation for details.

Before you can use this, you must call initialize().

anitya.db.meta.initialize(config)[source]

Initialize the database.

This creates a database engine from the provided configuration and configures the scoped session to use the engine.

Parameters:config (dict) – A dictionary that contains the configuration necessary to initialize the database.
Returns:The database engine created from the configuration.
Return type:sqlalchemy.engine

anitya.db.events

This module contains functions that are triggered by SQLAlchemy events.

anitya.db.events.set_ecosystem(session, flush_context, instances)[source]

An SQLAlchemy event listener that sets the ecosystem for a project if it’s null.

Parameters:
Raises:

ValueError – If the ecosystem_name isn’t valid.

anitya.db.models

SQLAlchemy database models.

class anitya.db.models.ApiToken(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.api.Base

get_version_class()[source]

Get the class for the version scheme used by this project.

This will take into account the defaults set in the ecosystem, backend, and globally. The version scheme locations are checked in the following order and the first non-null result is returned:

  1. On the project itself in the version_scheme column.
  2. The project’s ecosystem default, if the project is part of one.
  3. The project’s backend default, if the backend defines one.
  4. The global default defined in anitya.lib.versions.GLOBAL_DEFAULT
Returns:A Version sub-class.

status
class anitya.db.models.User(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.api.Base

A table for Anitya users.

This table is intended to work with a table of third-party authentication providers. Anitya does not support local users.

id

uuid.UUID – The primary key for the table.

email

str – The user’s email.

username

str – The user’s username, as retrieved from third-party authentication.

active

bool – Indicates whether the user is active. If false, users will not be able to log in.

social_auth

sqlalchemy.orm.dynamic.AppenderQuery – The list of social_flask_sqlalchemy.models.UserSocialAuth entries for this user.

active
admin

Determine if this user is an administrator.

Returns:True if the user is an administrator.
Return type:bool
api_tokens
email
get_id()[source]

Implement the flask-login interface for retrieving the user’s ID.

Returns:The Unicode string that uniquely identifies a user.
Return type:six.text_type
id
is_active

Implement the flask-login interface for determining if the user is active.

If a user is _not_ active, they are not allowed to log in.

Returns:True if the user is active.
Return type:bool
is_anonymous

Implement the flask-login interface for determining if the user is authenticated.

flask-login uses an “anonymous user” object if there is no authenticated user. This indicates to flask-login this user is not an anonymous user.

Returns:False in all cases.
Return type:bool
is_authenticated

Implement the flask-login interface for determining if the user is authenticated.

In this case, if flask-login has an instance of User, then that user has already authenticated via a third-party authentication mechanism.

Returns:True in all cases.
Return type:bool

Backend API

The Anitya backends API.

class anitya.lib.backends.BaseBackend[source]

Bases: object

The base class that all the different backends should extend.

name

str – The backend name. This is displayed to the user and used in URLs.

examples

list – A list of strings that are displayed to the user to indicate example project URLs.

default_regex

str – A regular expression to use by default with the backend.

more_info

str – A string that provides more detailed information to the user about the backend.

default_version_scheme

str – The default version scheme for this backend. This is only used if both the project and the ecosystem the project is a part of do not define a default version scheme. If this is not defined, anitya.lib.versions.GLOBAL_DEFAULT is used.

classmethod call_url(url, insecure=False)[source]

Dedicated method to query a URL.

It is important to use this method as it allows to query them with a defined user-agent header thus informing the projects we are querying what our intentions are.

Parameters:url (str) – the url to request (get).
Returns:the request object corresponding to the request made
Return type:Request
classmethod check_feed()[source]

Method called to retrieve the latest uploads to a given backend, via, for example, RSS or an API.

Not all backends may support this. It can be used to look for updates much more quickly than scanning all known projects.

Returns:

a list of 4-tuples, containing the project name, homepage, the backend, and the version.

Return type:

list

Raises:
default_regex = None
default_version_scheme = None
examples = None
classmethod expand_subdirs(url, glob_char='*')[source]

Expand dirs containing glob_char in the given URL with the latest Example URL: https://www.example.com/foo/*/

The globbing char can be bundled with other characters enclosed within the same slashes in the URL like /rel*/.

Code originally from Till Maas as part of cnucnu
