Python Packages

• requests

  • "Requests is an elegant and simple HTTP library for Python, built for human beings. Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, thanks to urllib3."

This is accomplished by:

• Pulling down the newest release of the Web Platform via Github API
• Backing up existing production Web Platform
• Extracting the Web Platform release to the defined ILLiad Web Platform location
  • NOTE: This will overwrite existing pre-defined files based on file extenstion filters.

The following files are expected to exist in the directory from which this module is executed:

• secrets.py
  • A collection of directory mappings and GitHub Authentication credentials with expected defintions:
    • git_repo = GIT_ORG/GIT_REPO
    • git_user = GIT_USERNAME
    • git_password = GIT_PASSWORD
    • testDir = "Location of ILLiad testweb directory"
      • Typically "C:\inetpub\ILLiad\testweb\"
    • prodDir = "Location of production ILLiad installation directory"
      • Typically "C:\inetpub\ILLiad\"
