Database _security object

[Steve Ross]

Is there a way to load the database/_security and issue a 'put' back
to it?

Thanks

Hi Steve.

Currently, there is no builtin support of this resource. All you can do for now is use next solution:

import couchdb
server = couchdb.Server()
db = server['temp']
# get
status, headers, security = db.resource.get_json('_security')
# put
info = {'admins': {'names': ['root'], 'roles': ['editors']}, 'readers': {'names': [], 'roles': []}}
db.resource.put_json('_security', body=info)

Thanks I ended up using httplib2 which makes things very easy but, maybe I'll switch back to using the couch lib

Ok so how do i get data out of the return from get_json... when i try
to access it in dictionary syntax it blows up and the type says
"tuple"

Nevermind... looked through the source and found the answer

status, headers, data = ...get_json()

I wasn't specifying all the return objects.

Is there a way we can get this added to the online docs? would have saved me a bunch of time

I suppose better to implement native support of `_security` resource for client.Database class with documentation of how to use it. Hacking it via resource is an option, but it's on low API level and not so obliviously for the first sight(:  Could you open issue ticket at http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/list to help us track state of this feature? I'll try to make patch on this weekends, but if you have your own - you're welcome(:

Hah, no I don't... on that level it would also be nice to have some utility methods for copying views and anything else in a design doc.

I'm no python developer, mainly using it as a backend for administrator creation of new databases (via a registration page) sending email etc.

yeah I'll put in a feature request.

Also, does 0.8 work with 1.1x and https?

Thanks,

Steve

 Design docs is just same documents as others. You are free to operate with views within ddocs as with simple document fields.

 Yes, 0.8 works well with 1.1 and https, but it does not has native support of show/list/update functions and others while 0.9-dev does.

Thanks,

Steve
