jbumueller / python-blogger

A fork of python-blogger, a python wrapper around the Blogger, Metaweblog, Wordpress, MovableType API

This is a python wrapper around the Metaweblog, Wordpress, and MovableType XML-RPC APIs. It is a fork of the Google Code project python-blogger.

Introduction

This library provides a python interface for the various blogging API. Currently, only Metaweblog and Wordpress are implemented but it will be soon be extended to use MovableType.

Installing/Building

To install with pip from source:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/theatlantic/python-blogger.git

If the source is already checked out, use setuptools:

$ python setup.py install

Using

import pyblog
blog = pyblog.WordPress('http://www.example.com/blog/xmlrpc.api', 'USERNAME', 'PASSWORD')
print blog.get_recent_posts()

All return values are the standard Python based objects returned by xmlrpclib.

Notes

pyblog.MetawWeblog objects implements all metaWeblog API as documented at http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi. The method names are modified to follow python naming conventions, so getRecentPosts() becomes get_recent_posts(). For API calls requiring struct parameter you will have to pass a dictionary with the corresponding key/value pair.

pyblog.Wordpress which extends pyblog.MetaWeblog implements the extra Wordpress XML-RPC methods. Currently, this API library fulfills all the functions provided with Wordpress v2.6
