Based on a CanDIG OpenAPI variant service demo, this toy service demonstrates the Python OpenAPI stack with CanDIG API best practices.

• Connexion for implementing the API
• SQLAlchemy, using Sqlite3 for ORM
• Bravado-core for Python classes from the spec
• Dredd and Dredd-Hooks-Python for testing
• Python 3
• Pytest, tox
• Travis-CI

The server software can be installed in a virtual environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
python setup.py develop

for automated testing you can install dredd; assuming you already have node and npm installed,

npm install -g dredd

The server can be run with, for instance

python3 -m python_model_service --database=test.db --logfile=test.log --loglevel=WARN

For testing, the dredd config is currently set up to launch the service itself, so no server needs be running:

cd tests
dredd --hookfiles=dreddhooks.py
