Changes made by Martin Barker:

• Started with version 0.6.0 ( older RTC support, no multithreading )
• Added the following code to base.py to support older RTC version:

    requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
    requests.packages.urllib3.util.ssl_.DEFAULT_CIPHERS += ':HIGH:!DH:!aNULL'
    try:
        requests.packages.urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl.util.ssl_.DEFAULT_CIPHERS += ':HIGH:!DH:!aNULL'
    except AttributeError:
        # no pyopenssl support used / needed / available
        pass

• Added the following functions to client.py:
  • getChildrenInfo()
  • getXmlField()
  • getTeamTrackBool()
  • getXmlDict()
  • getFeaturePlannedForValue()
  • getUserEmail()

A Python-based Client/API for Rational Team Concert (RTC)

About this library

IBM® Rational Team Concert™, is built on the Jazz platform, allowing application development teams to use one tool to plan across teams, code, run standups, plan sprints, and track work. For more info, please refer to here_.

.. _here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/r/rtc/

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT an official-released Python-based RTC Client.

This library can help you:

• Interacts with an RTC server to retrieve objects which contain the detailed information/configuration, including Project Areas, Team Areas, Workitems and etc;
• Creates all kinds of Workitems through self-customized templates or copies from some existing Workitems;
• Performs some actions on the retrieved Workitems, including get/add Comments, get/add/remove Subscribers/Children/Parent, get/upload Attachments and etc;
• Query Workitems using specified filtered rules or directly from your saved queries;
• Logs all the activities and messages during your operation;

Python & Rational Team Concert Versions

The project has been tested against Rational Team Concert 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and 6.0 on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3.

Installation

To install rtcclient, simply:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install rtcclient

Example

RTCClient is intended to map the objects in RTC (e.g. Project Areas, Team Areas, Workitems) into easily managed Python objects:

.. code-block:: python

>>> from rtcclient.utils import setup_basic_logging
>>> from rtcclient import RTCClient
# you can remove this if you don't need logging
# default debug logging for console output
>>> setup_basic_logging()
# url ends with jazz
>>> url = "https://your_domain:9443/jazz"
>>> username = "your_username"
>>> password = "your_password"
# if your rtc server is behind a proxy, remember to set "proxies"
# explicitly. detailed can be found in quick start of the doc
# if your url ends with ccm, set ends_with_jazz to False
# refer to issue #68 for detailed explanation
>>> myclient = RTCClient(url, username, password, ends_with_jazz=True)
# it will be faster if returned properties is specified
# see in below query example
>>> wk = myclient.getWorkitem(123456) # get a workitem whose id is 123456
# get all workitems
# If both projectarea_id and projectarea_name are None, all the workitems
# in all ProjectAreas will be returned
>>> workitems_list = myclient.getWorkitems(projectarea_id=None,
                                           projectarea_name=None)
>>> myquery = myclient.query # query class
>>> projectarea_name = "your_projectarea_name"
# customize your query string
# below query string means: query all the workitems with title "use case 1"
>>> myquerystr = 'dc:title="use case 1"'
# specify the returned properties: title, id, state, owner
# This is optional. All properties will be returned if not specified
>>> returned_prop = "dc:title,dc:identifier,rtc_cm:state,rtc_cm:ownedBy"
>>> queried_wis = myquery.queryWorkitems(query_str=myquerystr,
                                         projectarea_name=projectarea_name,
                                         returned_properties=returned_prop)

Testing

Using a virtualenv is recommended. Setuptools will automatically fetch missing test dependencies.

If you have installed the tox_ on your system already, you can run the tests using pytest_ with the following command:

.. _tox: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox .. _pytest: http://pytest.org/latest/

.. code-block:: bash

virtualenv
source .venv/bin/active
(venv) tox -e py27
(venv) tox -e py33
(venv) tox -e pep8
