Install 1.1.0dev

pip install balanced==1.1.0dev

and run following script

import balanced
from wac import NoResultFound

api_key = balanced.APIKey().save()
balanced.config.Client.config.auth = (api_key.secret, '')
try:
    mp = balanced.Marketplace.my_marketplace
except (NoResultFound, balanced.exc.NoResultFound):
    mp = balanced.Marketplace().save()
print mp

and here is the error

It should raise NoResultFound, but somehow, something is broken

Able to create bank account (i can see it in my account online), but it throws this error before i am able to parse a response.

Been looking at this class:

class Debit(Resource):
    """
    A Debit represents a transfer of funds from a buyer's Account to your
    Marketplace's escrow account.

    A Debit may be created directly, or it will be created as a side-effect
    of capturing a Hold. If you create a Debit directly it will implicitly
    create the associated Hold if the funding source supports this.

    If no Hold is specified, the Debit will by default be created using the
    most recently added funding source associated with the Account. You
    cannot change the funding source between creating a Hold and capturing
    it.

    def refund(self, amount=None, description=None, meta=None):

        amount of the Debit, you may create many Refunds up to the sum total

        meta = meta or {}
        return Refund(

            description=description,
            meta=meta,
        ).save()

But when you try to use this, you get AttributeError: 'Debit' object has no attribute 'refunds_uri'

I tried changing self.refunds_uri to self.uri but then I got: HTTPError: Method Not Allowed: 405: Your request id is OHM2f81d254500c11e...redacted....

When I call: MYCARD.associate_to_customer(customer) It fails to save when adding new attribute 'links' to Card object as indicated in resources.py:

class FundingInstrument(Resource):
...
    def associate_to_customer(self, customer):
        try:
            self.links
        except AttributeError:
            self.links = {}
        self.links['customer'] = utils.extract_href_from_object(customer)
        self.save()

In fact, at the end of saving process, MYCARD got a new attribute called 'customer_href' instead of 'links' that I expected. Next, I fetch MYCARD again to see its response, but neither 'links' nor 'customer_href' is on MYCARD. However, the number of cards associated with the customer increases by one.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

We have a new Customer resource.

With a customer you should be able to debit, credit, as well as add_card and add_bank_account. A customer should be able to tell you their active_card and active_bank_account.

This repins requests in requirements.txt. The change is so minor that I can't imagine Requests 1.1.0 wouldn't still work, but it seemed better to stick with pinning and let advanced users manually use an older Requests version as necessary.

I was trying to add a buyer without a card URI as I was wanting to write my program in steps instead of doing 2 things at once.

client = balanced.Marketplace.my_marketplace.create_buyer(email, None)

This returns an issue saying that None is not a valid card URI.

client = balanced.Marketplace.my_marketplace.create_buyer(email, {})

This returns saying that "{}" needs to be a URI

client = balanced.Marketplace.my_marketplace.create_buyer(email, "")

Same as using None.

The fix for this is to do the following:

client = balanced.Account(uri=balanced.Marketplace.my_marketplace.accounts_uri,email_address=email).save()

Perhaps there can be an easier fix for this, though?

https://docs.balancedpayments.com/1.1/api/card-holds/#void-a-card-hold wasn't actually working for the python library. The holds object voided_at would just return as null when you called cancel.

I just tried to install it with

pip install "balanced<1.0"

But what I got looks like this

Downloading/unpacking balanced<1.0
  Downloading balanced-1.beta3.tar.gz
  Running setup.py egg_info for package balanced

I am pretty familiar with how pip handles version number, maybe we can figure it out, see is this our problem or that's a bug of pip or something else.

An article to reference to: http://guide.python-distribute.org/specification.html

The requests library has gone through big changes since the April 2012 version the balanced python client requires: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests#history

It had some backwards incompatible changes w/ the big refactor/rewrite 1.0 release, but that's now 2 months ago, so it might be stable enough to rely on by now. Might take a bit of reworking of our code, I don’t know how hard it would be.

Also worth investigating is version 0.14.2 of Requests from the end of October, the last version before the big refactor.

When trying to run on google app engine, the python client currently fails, because requests can't find a list of certificate authority keys, and therefore raises an exception. It’s possible to work around this by leaving the same requests version and modifying the balanced python client. But it also might fix things to just use a newer version of the library. I haven’t done much testing of it.

There is a small typo in tests/test_suite.py.

Should read resource rather than resouce.

Semi-automated pull request generated by https://github.com/timgates42/meticulous/blob/master/docs/NOTE.md

For instance when running a simple query that returns no results:

customer = balanced.Customer.query.filter(email=self.email).one()

the error type should be balanced.exc.NoResultFound, instead it's wac.NoResultFound.

I noticed that the NoResultFound raised was the one from balanced in revision 1.0 client. However, it appears that becomes the one from wac in revision 1.1.

IMHO, that should be the one from balanced.

Implemented python3 support (HOWEVER: at the cost of python2 support). Currently, requires wac to be installed from my fork, since I had to port that to python3 as well. However, I will be submitting a pull request to wac's author as well. Passed all test cases of nosetests.

Make sure that this client library does not choke and return the wrong object.
