Hi all,
I am really trying to better understand Python, but I am lost here. I have a
file called pyfacebook, and it is a python wrapper for the facebook api. I
am trying to add a ocuple of my own methods to this file, the new stream
methods. I want all these methods in one class, so I created said class.
Now, though, I am not sure how to put my methods into my class. The file
contains something called an IDL, which seems to be a dictionary of methods?
The other problem I have is getting some necessary information for
connecting to facebook in the first place. Most of it can be gotten through
methods already in place, but I am not sure how to call one such method
because it has a lot of use of the word 'self' and I am unable to figure out
just what it returns. I have pasted this funciton below. If you understand
it, could you please explain it!!?? Thanks.
def getSession(self):
"""Facebook API call. See
http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php?v=1.0&method=auth.getSession""";
args = {}
try:
args['auth_token'] = self._client.auth_token
except AttributeError:
raise RuntimeError('Client does not have auth_token set.')
result = self._client('%s.getSession' % self._name, args)
self._client.session_key = result['session_key']
self._client.uid = result['uid']
self._client.secret = result.get('secret')
self._client.session_key_expires = result['expires']
return result
Have a great day,
Alex
