The http Module
The http module wraps the underlying raw HTTP request module (httplib2 currently) to separate the job of exposing the API from the job of dealing with lower-level interfacing with the HTTP client in use today.
-
class pyrabbit.http.HTTPClient(server, uname, passwd, timeout=5)[source]
A wrapper for (currently) httplib2. Abstracts away
things like path building, return value parsing, etc.,
so the api module code stays clean and easy to read/use.
-
decode_json_content(content)[source]
Returns the JSON-decoded Python representation of ‘content’.
| Parameters: | content (json) – A Python JSON object. |
|---|
-
