How to search/filter customers/products using python api

[rsp]

Several objects (such as products and customers) have a way to provide a query parameter but I'm not sure how it translates into the python api.

If I try shopify.Customer.find(q="customername"). This doesn't do anything. But I can pass some parameters this way, like "limit", "fields", etc. ??

Thanks.

Search queries are only available on the Customer resource as a separate search action (http://api.shopify.com/customer.html#search).

shopify.Customer.search(q="customername") should work, or to search only one the name fields you can use shopify.Customer.search(q="first_name:Dylan last_name:Smith")

If I use the Customer.search method I get "Customer has no attribute 'search'". I'm using the most recent version of the ShopifyAPI I think.

The feature was added in version 0.3.0, so make sure you have that installed.

~/src/shopify_python_api(master=)$ ./bin/shopify_api.py console

using shop1.localhost:3000

Python 2.7.2 (default, Sep 10 2011, 13:02:26) 

[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.6)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

(ShopifyAPI)

>>> shopify.Customer.search(q='Dylan')

[customer(2), customer(26), customer(31)]

>>> shopify.VERSION

'0.3.1'

^ It is working locally for me with the latest version.

[rsp]

That did it, thanks!
