Grow Recipe Python SDK

A python package to provide functionality to the Grow Recipe Schema

NOTE: lxml is not a requirement, however grow recipes cannot be validated against a schema without it. To validate grow recipes during run time, install lxml through pip:

$ pip install lxml

Alternatively, you can manually validate grow recipes using a XML Schema validator, such as xmllint. Refer here for installation instructions.

Installation

pip:

$ pip install grow-recipe

Usage

from datetime import datetime

import grow_recipe

# keep track of the start of the grow
start_time = datetime(2018, 12, 17)

with open('some_file.xml') as xml_file:
    temperature_range = grow_recipe.get_metric(
        xml_file, 'air', 'temperature', start_time, datetime.now())

print('Temperature minimum ' + temperature_range.min)
print('Temperature maximum ' + temperature_range.max)

Development

Setup with pip: $ pip install -r requirements.txt

To test schema support, install lxml through pip, or run: $ pip install -r optional-requirements.txt

Also, include the grow_recipe package in editable mode by running $ pip install -e . in the repository root.

To run tests, run $ pytest

Unfortunately, setuptools does not support submodules. So the XML schema must be kept updated with the source
