Instead of using the `scripts` keyword, we now use the
`console_scripts` entry point to point to the zulip-send script
to be installed. This is what the Python Packaging User Guide
recommends for better cross-platform compatibility.
According to stubs from mypy 0.4.7 onwards, `requests.get` takes
a parameter `params` of type `Dict[AnyStr, AnyStr]` where `AnyStr`
can be either bytes or text. Actually, requests can accept values
of other types in dicts too but it casts them to a string type.
So to avoid type checking error messages, change `True` to `'True'`.
This adds support for controlling the basic configuration (user, API
key, etc.) of the Zulip API bindings via environment variables.
Fixes#3364.
Tweaked by tabbott to update variable names and document in README.md.
- Change `stream_name` into `stream_id` on some API endpoints that use
`stream_name` in their URLs to prevent confusion of `views` selection.
For example:
If the stream name is "foo/members", the URL would be trigger
"^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)/members$" and it would be confusing because
we intend to use the endpoint with "^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)$" regex.
All stream-related endpoints now use stream id instead of stream name,
except for a single endpoint that lets you convert stream names to stream ids.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2930#issuecomment-269576231
- Add `get_stream_id()` method to Zulip API client, and change
`get_subscribers()` method to comply with the new stream API
(replace `stream_name` with `stream_id`).
Fixes#2930.
Now, the `Client.do_api_query()` method supports sending files to the
API.
This has allowed the implementation of a new method,
`Client.upload_file(file)`. It simply uploads the file set in the
parameter, and returns the API's response (that includes the URI).
Despite the fact that `do_api_query()` supports multiple files as
parameters, `upload_file()` doesn't, because right now the API isn't
capable of managing more than a file in the same request.
