Python Wrapper for SBA APIs (www.sba.gov/api/), currently follows PHP version https://github.com/codeforamerica/SBA-PHP-Library in being a thin wrapper.

For examples, see documentation for each method in api.py.

21 Jun 2011: All methods finished. Todo: Rewrite to be more pythonic/follow the syntax of other python wrappers more closely. Also, write class documentation, split each API class into its own file (similar to https://github.com/codeforamerica/sba_ruby).

Third Party Libraries

Current third-party libraries we're using include:

• mock -- Create test stubs and mocks.

    >>> from mock import Mock
    >>> from api import api
    >>> api.urlopen = Mock()

• coverage -- Check test code coverage.

    $ coverage run test.py
    .................

    $ coverage report -m
