Trade-Dangerous in Google Colabs

[jcc10]

I'm trying to setup a google colabs notebook for experimenting with fleet carrier trade calculations and I was wondering how one goes about programmatically importing data from the internet.

After I ran from tradedangerous import ??? I was wondering what I should call to perform the trade import -P eddblink command from within python?

(After I get this working and a proof of concept, I'll share my work for the class :) )

You have to import the plugin at the least and call its run method with the arguments needed.

Currently, I am using the following:

from tradedangerous import tradedb, cli
cli.trade(["", "import", "-P", "eddblink", "-O", "clean"])

This is in-fact not described in the python quick peek, but is required to use the script in google colab since you can't get a shell without paying extra.

I'm working on a colab notebook for system level trade routing as a proof of concept. I'll post it after I verify the basics work.

No, the linked is intended as an introduction to the python illiterate, but the examples it contains should be enough for the persistent to understand the mechanics of using TD as an API.

To use an import plugin, you must import the plugin(s) you want to use, the plugin module, and any modules they depend on.

For example, the server listener's TD imports:

    from tradedangerous import cli as trade, cache, tradedb, tradeenv, transfers, plugins, commands
    from tradedangerous.plugins import eddblink_plug, spansh_plug
