DEV TO DO LIST

[achapkowski]

TODO (for now):

• [x] Change url from default www.arcgis.com to the actual portal site URL
• Example: site.maps.arcgis.com instead of the default arcgis.com. This comes from the portal self call from the portalSelf.urlKey, portalSelf.customBaseUrl items.
• [x] add new User properties on community.User class.
• [x] Handle create assignment functions
• [x] verify all properties captured on HFS/MapService/Feature Service, etc..
• [x] Improve addByParts() to handle memory better for very large files.
• [x] Add/Improve error handling
• Add catch if file is less than 5 mbs, then do not add by parts, do standard upload of file.
• [x] Add function to reset a user's password using the reset() on community.user class

• [x] Issue with python 2.7.10 and invalid SSL certificates. Make this an optional flag on BaseWebOperation Module. By default it will be set to True, but if it is False and Python is 2.7.9 or greater, this code at the 2.7 framework needs to be run:

  import ssl
  import urllib2
  ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
  ctx.check_hostname = False
  ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
  urllib2.urlopen("https://sometestserver.com/portal/sharing/rest", context=ctx)

• TODO: verify workaround in Python 3.4.
• [x] Update Item and UserItem Properties
• [x] ensure that new REST root is used: www.arcgis.com/sharing, not www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest when a null value is passed for org_url in both generateToken calls and in administration class.

WISHLIST (for now):

• [ ] local data visualizer
• [ ] Get all samples to latest version
• [ ] build out simpler front end for user easy of use
• [x] produce a tutorial

Please feel free to add your comments. This is just some of the goals for the next release. Remember this is fluid, and comments are welcome.

Additional Functionality:

• Added to community.user update() input value of userType which will allow admins to enable or disable 'Esri Access' so organizational users can use the AGOL org account with the forums.

Would it be possible/useful to create a global environment setting (a la arcpy.env.overwriteOutput) for message logging? My naive thought is something like arcrest.env.verbose = 0|1|2 which would suppress all print functions, only show errors, and print everything, respectively.

I also plan on taking a stab at the Sphinx/jinja documentation.

Paul, There are some good logging modules in python that we could look at leveraging - https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html

We can try to create an htttphandler(debug=1) to print out urllib messages?

Also new in the 3.5.3 version there is a object.last_code, last_message, and last_url which can help in debugging as well.

Or just use fiddler ☺
