V2.8.7 Features: Masking sensitive data in logs. No delete option. Fixes & Refactoring. Code coverage and Python 3.7 testing.

Fixes/Features

• Setup via PyPi
• Fixed #73: Weird issue on Synology with python installed from default packages (DO NOT INSTALL IT) . Updated README.
• Fixed #74: Initial logging has an erratic behaviour (Low priority)
• Fixed/Feature: uploadr.cron: Proper use of PREFIX and PATH settings
• Feature: At the end prints the total for (countflickr - countlocal) for easier reading.
• Feature #71: Suggestion: no.delete: New option --no-delete-from-flickr (under testing.Use at your own risk for now!)
• Feature #78: Enhancement: Mask sensitive data (like file name and Albums) on Logs. New option: -m/-mask-sensitive
• Cleaned up debugging of external modules namely multiprocessing logging.
• Testing with python 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7
• Refactored all DB function calls. Protected by error code hangling and lock usage whenm applicable

Setup options:

• (For alpha versions like this one) You can install from pip:
  pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple flickr-uploader==2.8.7a36 --prefix=~/apps/Python/ --no-cache-dir
• (For regular versions) You can install from pip:
  pip install flickr-uploader --prefix=~/apps/Python
• You can download and run install with command:
  python3 setup.py install --prefix=~/apps/Python --old-and-unmanageable
• You can download and run from local folder.
• uploadr.ini: Note that uploadr.ini definition for path search is changed:
  • Sets base folder with FOLDER = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())
  • DB_PATH, LOCK_PATH, TOKEN_CACHE and TOKEN_PATH are now relative to FOLDER, for example: os.path.join(%(FOLDER)s, "flickrdb")
• From v2.8.6 onwards it looks for uploadr.ini as follows:
  1. Use --config-file argument option to indicate where to find the file. Example --config_file uploadr.ini
  2. If not, os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]). Example: ~/apps/Python/bin/uploadr.ini or ./uploadr.ini
  3. If not, os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), '..', 'etc', 'uploadr.ini'. Example: ~/apps/Python/etc/uploadr.ini

Output Messages

• Adjustments on output and logging messages.
• As a reference from version 2.8.6: New set of options related to Rotating Error Logging added to uploadr.ini:

################################################################################
#   Output logging information into a rotating set of log file(s).
#       ROTATING_LOGGING to Enable/Disable
#       ROTATING_LOGGING_PATH location of folder/main logging filename
#       ROTATING_LOGGING_FILE_SIZE for maximum file size of each log file
#       ROTATING_LOGGING_FILE_COUNT for maximum count of old log files to keep
#       ROTATING_LOGGING_LEVEL Level Logging 
#           Check LOGGING_LEVEL setting for options.
#           Normally set ROTATING_LOGGING_LEVELto lower than LOGGING_LEVEL
################################################################################
ROTATING_LOGGING = True
ROTATING_LOGGING_PATH = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), "logs", "uploadr.err")
ROTATING_LOGGING_FILE_SIZE = 25*1024*1024  # 25 MBytes
ROTATING_LOGGING_FILE_COUNT = 3
ROTATING_LOGGING_LEVEL = 30

Environment and Coding

• Python 2.7 + 3.6 + 3.7 compatibility: use of "# noqa" as applicable
• Development now use coveralls.io to check source code coverage
• autopep8, PEP8, flakes and pylint3 (not all!) adjustments. Several pylint reaching now a rating of 9.45/10.00.
• pytest --flakes & pytest --doctest-modules
• Runs several unittests
• For installation:
  • pip install flickr-uploader
  • setup.py (optional use)
  • or manual
• NicePrint:
  • use of staticmethods
  • New argument logalso
  • niceprocessedfiles new argument for adaptable output message
• On upload failure: sleep for(configured on Konstants.py) 20s (instead of 10) to avoid duplicated uploaded files.
