Python API wrapper for the DataCite Metadata Store API and DataCite XML generation.

The datacite package is on PyPI so all you need is:

pip install datacite

Documentation is readable at http://datacite.readthedocs.io/ or can be built using Sphinx:

pip install datacite[docs]
python setup.py build_sphinx

Running the test suite is as simple as:

pip install -e .[all]
./run-tests.sh

If you're using zsh, use this pip command instead:

pip install -e .'[all]'

Some tests require a DataCite Test Account. Set the following environment variables $DATACITE_USER, $DATACITE_PW, $DATACITE_PREFIX with your account information for doi.test.datacite.org and run:

./run-tests-pw.sh
