Consider using TMpy?

Hi Kaylon, just a quick hint (not an issue): there is already a great python Rest API library out there at https://github.com/MariusWirtz/TM1py
I would recommend to check it out for all the Rest communication.
Also if the parsing logic is working on abstract objects it could even work offline (from text / rux / pro /etc) files
Cheers,
Ambrus

Hey Ambrus,
I wasn't aware of that library, thanks for telling me about it, it looks awesome! It also looks way better than my stuff from a software dev perspective.

Initially I had the logic working on offline objects just as you suggested. But i completly scrapped any support for that, because the REST api is soo much nicer. I still have it if anyone would be interested but I don't see myself ever going back.

APart from that. Did you have tha chance to check the tm1doc out? I am desperate to get some feedback. :)

Cheers

Hi Benno,

TM1doc looks really interesting. It runs for me with Python 3.5. I just had to adjust the import statements a bit.

I think TM1py could indeed be a good bridge between tm1doc and the TM1 Server.
Also I think the Rules and Process class in TM1py could come in handy for TM1doc. They are rather basic but I suppose its a good starting point for further analysis.

Feel free to do a pull request or open an issue if you are missing something in TM1py.

Cheers,

Marius
