PROJECT STATUS

I have not had access to a SharePoint server for a while now and I do not feel that I can support this library in any reasonable fashion. I will still accept pull requests and respond to issues as much as I can, but please be aware that I am no longer capapable of testing most of these changes.

SharePlum

SharePlum is an easier way to work with SharePoint services. It handles all of the messy parts of dealing with SharePoint and allows you to write clean and Pythonic code.

Usage

from shareplum import Site
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

auth = HttpNtlmAuth('DIR\\username', 'password')
site = Site('https://abc.com/sites/MySharePointSite/', auth=auth)
sp_list = site.List('list name')
data = sp_list.GetListItems('All Items', row_limit=200)

Authenticate to Office365 Sharepoint

from shareplum import Site
from shareplum import Office365

authcookie = Office365('https://abc.sharepoint.com', username='username@abc.com', password='password').GetCookies()
site = Site('https://abc.sharepoint.com/sites/MySharePointSite/', authcookie=authcookie)
sp_list = site.List('list name')
data = sp_list.GetListItems('All Items', row_limit=200)

Access REST API

from shareplum import Site
from shareplum import Office365
from shareplum.site import Version

authcookie = Office365('https://abc.sharepoint.com', username='username@abc.com', password='password').GetCookies()
site = Site('https://abc.sharepoint.com/sites/MySharePointSite/', version=Version.v2016, authcookie=authcookie)
folder = site.Folder('Shared Documents/This Folder')
folder.upload_file('Hello', 'new.txt')
folder.get_file('new.txt')
folder.check_out('new.txt')
folder.check_in('new.txt', "My check-in comment")
folder.delete_file('new.txt')

Unit Tests

This package uses python unittest. To run the unit tests, first copy tests/test_settings.py as tests/local_test_seetings.py and edit the contents to point at your sharepoint. Second export your sharepoint password as an environment variable 'TEST_PASSWORD' Then from the root folder run:

python -m unittest disover  # all tests
python -m unittest tests.test_site  # all site tests
