You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. About ===== Parsons, named after `Lucy Parsons `_, is a Python package that contains a growing list of connectors and integrations to move data between various tools. Parsons is focused on integrations and connectors for tools utilized by the progressive community. Parsons was built out of a belief that progressive organizations spend far too much time building the same integrations, over and over and over again, while they should be engaged in more important and impactful work. It was built and is maintained by The Movement Cooperative. The Movement Cooperative ======================== The Movement Cooperative is a member led organization focused on providing data, tools and strategic support for the progressive community. Our mission is to break down technological barriers for organizations that fight for social justice. License and Usage ================= Usage of Parsons is governed by the `TMC Parsons License `_, which allows for unlimited non-commercial usage, provided that individuals and organizations adhere to our broad values statement. Design Goals ============ The goal of Parsons is to make the movement of data between systems as easy and straightforward as possible. Simply put, we seek to reduce the lines of code that are written by the progressive community. Not only is this a waste of time, but we rarely have the capacity and resources to fully unittest our scripts. .. image:: /_static/parsons_diagram.png Parsons seeks to be flexible from a data ingestion and output perspective, while providing ETL tools that recognize that our data is **always** messy. Central to this concept is the :ref:`parsons-table` the table-like object that most methods return. QuickStart ========== .. code-block:: python # VAN - Download activist codes to a CSV from parsons import VAN van = VAN(db='MyVoters') ac = van.get_activist_codes() ac.to_csv('my_activist_codes.csv') # Redshift - Create a table from a CSV from parsons import Table tbl = Table.from_csv('my_table.csv') tbl.to_redshift('my_schema.my_table') # Redshift - Export from a query to CSV from parsons import Redshift sql = 'select * from my_schema.my_table' rs = Redshift() tbl = rs.query(sql) tbl.to_csv('my_table.csv') # Upload a file to S3 from parsons import S3 s3 = S3() s3.put_file('my_bucket','my_table.csv') # TargetSmart - Append data to a record from parsons import TargetSmart ts = TargetSmart(api_key='MY_KEY') record = ts.data_enhance(231231231, state='DC') Sources ======= * Documentation: ``_ * Source Code: ``_ Installation ============ You can install the most recent release by running: ``pip install parsons`` Logging ======= Parsons uses the `native python logging system `_. By default, log output will go to the console and look like: .. code-block:: none parsons.modulename LOGLEVEL the specific log message In your scripts that use Parsons, if you want to override the default Parsons logging behavior, just grab the "parsons" logger and tweak it: .. code-block:: python import logging parsons_logger = logging.getLogger('parsons') # parsons_logger.setLevel('DEBUG') # parsons_logger.addHandler(...) # parsons_logger.setFormatter(...)
