You can setup these parameters using the attributes on the Connection
object.

eg.

-----
#!/bin/python
import perforce

p4 = perforce.Connection()
p4.user = "myname"
p4.port = "testserver:1666"
p4.client = "clientspecName"

p4.connect()
info = p4.run("info").records[0]
p4.disconnect()

if info['clientName'] == "*unknown*":
  print "client doesn't exist"
else:
  print "client does exist"
-----

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Lewis.

[PyPerforce] how to pass the global options to run command

[Zhuang, Y. <yu...@qu...>]

Hello,

I'm new to pyperforce. I would like to query Perforce to see if a client
spec exists or not. I can use the command line "p4 -u myname -p
testserver:1666 -c clientspecName info" to check the Client field in the
return to decide if the clientspec , clientspecName, exists or not. When
I try to use the run command in pyperforce, p4obj.run('-u', 'myname',
'-p', 'testserver:1666', '-c', 'clientspecName', 'info'). I got error
back. Can somebody help me on how to pass the global options to a run()
command in pyperforce.=20

Thanks,
-Yuan

[PyPerforce] PyPerforce 0.4 released

[Lewis B. <lew...@us...>]

Hi All,

A new release of PyPerforce is now available at
http://pyperforce.sourceforge.net/.

The 0.4 release introduces support for the KeepAlive functionality in the
Perforce C++ API. You can now provide a Python function to a Connection obj=
ect
that will be called periodically during long-running commands to give you a=
n
opportunity to abort that operation. This allows you to write command-line
scripts that are able to respond to Ctrl-C or GUI applications that have a
cancel button.

A Job class has been added to round out support for Perforce form-based
objects. The form-based objects, such as Client, Job, Branch, etc, now also
support iteration over their fields in a similar way to Form objects.

For example:

import perforce
p4 =3D perforce.Connection()
p4.connect()
job =3D perforce.Job(p4, 'job1234')
for fieldName in job:
  print fieldName, "=3D", job[fieldName]

For a detailed list of other changes and bugfixes see the change notes here=
:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=3D162781&release_id=
=3D529773

I hope that people find these new features useful and I look forward to
any feedback, comments, thoughts or suggestions.

Cheers,
Lewis.
