Professional Python

Learn to code professional Python.

Requirements

• Python Basics
• Git Basics
• GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket Basics
• Linux/Windows Commandline Basics (Linux recommended)

Tasks

Task 1 - Weather Data

Create a python program to fetch and print weather data:

• Start with a simple script
• Get weather data for the past and/or future 3 days
• Output the weather data to the console
• As weather data choose temperature and/or rainwater

Important

• Do a pull request to make your submission in your repo
• Find someone to review your code (you can use our discord)

Task 2 - GitHub CLI

Create a python program to interact with GitHub and retrieve data. Add the following commands:

• Count all stars of all repos of yourself, a specified user or an organization.
• Print out details about yourself, a user or organization. Allow a nicely printed format as default and offer output as json too.
• One of the following:
  • (easy) Modify your user description by adding a tea emoji and a heart.
  • (difficult) Set your user status (top-right when clicking on username) to a tea emoji with the message "Drinking Tea".

Focus points:

• End-users will use your program so focus on usability
• Integrate previous lessons as much as it makes sense

Task 3 - API

This task will be an advancement of the previous one by wrapping the functionality in an API. Create an API with the following routes:

• GET /health/ping to check if the API is up (can be unauthenticated)
• Require a GitHub token as authentication header and use this token for your API calls to GitHub within your API
• GET /user to get details about the currently authenticated user
• GET /user/stars to retrieve the amount of GitHub stars of all repos from the authenticated user
• GET /user/status to get the current status of the authenticated user (see task 2)
• POST /user/status to set the users status to drinking tea (see task 2)
• GET /users/{username} to get data about the specified user
• GET /users/{username}/stars to get the amount of total stars from all repos of the specified user

What is important?

• Document your API endpoints (hint: if you do this right, it is done automatically)
• The API needs to be wrapped and published as a docker image
• Add a task command to start the docker image (makes life easier)
