0.3.0 - parsing `request.Response` JSON into Python objects

As the title suggests, various functions/classes have been implemented to help users parse Lemmy API responses (requests.Response objects) into easily-usable Python objects. These functions/classes were designed based on how the lemmy-js-client handles responses and data types (person, comment, community, etc.).

For example:

from plemmy import LemmyHttp
from plemmy.responses import GetCommunityResponse

# create object for `Lemmy.ml`, log in
srv = LemmyHttp("https://lemmy.ml")
srv.login("<username_or_email>", "<password>")

# obtain community, parse response
api_response = srv.get_community(name="Lemmy")  # returns `requests.Response` object
response = GetCommunityResponse(api_response)

# print community info
community = response.community_view.community
print(community.name)
print(community.actor_id)
print(community.id)

Full documentation is on its way, in the meantime browse our source code and examples!

0.2.6 (fixes to GET operations)

Symbolic follow-up to PR #3, where all other GET operations now pass form data as the params argument. Brought to attention in issue #10 by @ajstamps, thanks for the contribution!

0.2.5

Added timeout functionality to Plemmy requests. On slow servers the requests can hang indefinitely requiring a stop and restart of the script. Set the timeout to 30 seconds.

Thanks to @socphoenix for the contribution!

0.2.4 (bug fix)

The edit_community function pointed to the wrong API endpoint. Fixed by @benja810, thanks for the contribution!

0.2.3 - new features, fixes

• Added all emoji-related API calls
  • create, edit, delete custom emojis
• Added new functions get_comment and get_federated_instances
• Other fixes per LemmyHttp updates

0.2.2

A bug was fixed (#3) that caused a 400 error on get_community's GET operation. Are other GET operations affected by similar bugs? Time to test!

Thanks to @ihyoudou for the contribution.

Initial release (0.1.0)

Just getting the project out there! Basic functionality has been implemented (log in, create comments/posts/communities, a few more), and more is to come. I'm writing methods alphabetically from LemmyHttp's documentation.
