clack's Issues

Support JW APIv2

Add support for JW Player's new API.

Support Python 3

Currently Clack does not work with Python 3. This should change.

Clack 2.0.0b9 : output format always py

$ clack --version
Clack-2.0.0b9
$ clack call -e my_env /videos/list '{"limit": 1}'
Call settings:

api type      : ms1
api host      : https://api.jwplatform.com
verify ssl    : True
endpoint      : videos/list
params        : {"limit": 1}
key/username  : key
secret        : ********
output format : py

$ clack call --output json -e my_env /videos/list '{"limit": 1}'
Call settings:

api type      : ms1
api host      : https://api.jwplatform.com
verify ssl    : True
endpoint      : videos/list
params        : {"limit": 1}
key/username  : key
secret        : ********
output format : py

$ clack call -o json -e my_env /videos/list '{"limit": 1}'
Call settings:

api type      : ms1
api host      : https://api.jwplatform.com
verify ssl    : True
endpoint      : videos/list
params        : {"limit": 1}
key/username  : key
secret        : ********
output format : py

I cut the actual response from the listing, but it's indeed py. Same works for 1.x.x

Cannot create new config file while in Virtual Env

Hi!
Installed Clack on local MBP, but ran into a problem with setting up a config file while inside a Virtual Env. Runs fine when not in Virtual Env.

Installed it to my Virtual Env via

pip install --upgrade clack-cli

Ran clack init and entered my information, but then fails with the traceback message. Have also tried with sudo clack init --force

clack init

Traceback (most recent call last):

As mentioned, installing clack outside of Virtual Env and setting a config works. Can access config while in virtual env after setting them up outside.

Requesting Linux keyring support (update docs to show options)

Currently it appears that the install process, and the keyring requirement for the secret, are based on running this on a Mac (OS/X).

Is there a way to make it compatible with Linux?

We're happy putting the secret in the config.ini, but running clack settings add under Linux doesn't work, as it will not create the config.ini file initially, and even if we touch the file and proceed, it fails on the requirement of keyring support to record the secret in the configuration.

Options are broken

I tried:

$clack call --csv-file ./tagskeys4_sample.csv /videos/update "{'video_key': '<<Key>>', 'custom.category': '<<Category>>', 'custom.series': '<<Series>>'}"

It returned:

Error: no such option: --csv-file

I dug into the code a bit and tried the alternative:

$clack call -c ./tagskeys4_sample.csv /videos/update "{'video_key': '<<Key>>', 'custom.category': '<<Category>>', 'custom.series': '<<Series>>'}"

It returned:

Error: no such option: -c

Then, just to see if any options worked:

$clack call -o
Error: no such option: -o

$clack call -v
Error: no such option: -v

I'm using the most recent version of Clack in a virtualenv per the documentation on Github.
