DEPRECATED

I don't really feel like working on this wrapper anymore, it was a decent learning experience but other then that I find it pretty boring overall to work on it, sorry.

async_pokepy

An, in the works, asynchronous wrapper for the PokeAPI.co API.

Documentation

The documentation is available at readthedocs or on gitlab pages, mostly as a backup.

Installing

The wrapper is available on PyPi and requires Python 3.5.3+, to install it just run the following command:

python3 -m pip install -U async_pokepy

# or on Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U async_pokepy

To install the development version, do the this instead:

git clone https://github.com/PendragonLore/async_pokepy.git
cd async_pokepy
python3 -m pip install -U .

Better caching

It's recommended to install the library with lru-dict, to do so, run the follwing command:

pip install async_pokepy[lru]

A warning will be thrown if the wrapper is used without this extra package.

Documentation building, linting and tests

To run tests/lint install it with:

pip install async_pokepy[tests]

The best way to run tests is by using tox.

For documentation building:

pip install async_pokepy[docs]

Example

import asyncio

import async_pokepy


async def main(query):
    client = await async_pokepy.connect()

    pokemon = await client.get_pokemon(query)

    fmt = ", ".join(map(str, pokemon.abilities))
    print("{0} has the abilities {1}".format(pokemon, fmt))

    await client.close()


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main("Snorlax"))

This will output: "Snorlax has the abilities Gluttony, Thick Fat, Immunity".

More examples are available in the example folder in the github repository or in the introduction section of the docs.
