PSI Fytotron API implementation

Photon System Instruments (PSI) develivers equipment accross the globe. Most of their cells are controlled by a fytotron PC, for which they also provide an optional API. To simplify the implementation and sharing of analysis workflows, we created an OpenAPI specification file and use the Openapi Generator to generate this package.

Installation & Usage

Unfortunately currently only available on test pypi, installable with: python -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple psi-fytotron pip install psi-fytotron
Build and tested with python 3.8 on windows 10
Cross platform support for Linux, macOS and Windows

Example implementation

Uses a .env file with the following fields:

URL: <"http://<ip-address/path>:<poort>/fyto/rest"
TOKEN: <Fytotron API access token>

The environment files have one additional depency: pip install python-dotenv Example code: https://github.com/NPEC-NL/PSI-Fytotron-API/blob/main/example_implementation.py?plain=1#L2-L32

Contributing

We welcome contributions! If you encounter bugs, have feature requests, or want to suggest improvements, please create an issue and provide a clear description.

Setting up a Development Environment

Requires Python 3.9+ 1. Create a virtual environment (venv): sh python -m venv .venv 2. Activate the venv: - On Windows: sh .venv\Scripts\activate - On macOS/Linux: sh source .venv/bin/activate 3. Install the package with build and test dependencies: ```sh pip install .[build, test]

Updating the OpenAPI specification file

The API is automatically generated from the OpenAPI specification file with the openapi generator cli. The workflows automatically build the client and copy the files to the right folders.
