rattail.importing
¶
Data Importing Framework
There are a handful of importers and import handlers made available within this namespace, i.e. not just the base classes but some variations thereof etc. You may import each of these directly from this namespace, e.g.:
from rattail.importing import Importer
However it’s more typical to do this instead:
from rattail import importing
That way you can reference importing.Importer
as well as
importing.model.ProductImporter
etc. The full list of what’s available in
this rattail.importing
namespace follows.
Please also see Data Importers for some of the general concepts involved here.
Importers¶
Import Handlers¶
Rattail Model Importers¶
This is a little different but worth a mention. If you do:
from rattail import importing
then you will have access to the full set of Rattail data importers (i.e. the
“local” side of an import which targets a Rattail database) via
importing.model
- in other words you can then do this:
class ProductImporter(importing.model.ProductImporter):
""" Custom product importer. """
Of course that’s only helpful if you’re importing data to Rattail. See
rattail.importing.model
for what’s available in that namespace.
