Ruben Fiszel 6eca08480a chore: remove legacy wmill_pg python client (#8155)
The wmill_pg package (psycopg2 wrapper for running PostgreSQL queries)
has been fully replaced by Windmill's native PostgreSQL support.
Remove the package directory and all references from build, publish,
install, version, LSP, and dependabot configs.

wmill

The core client for the Windmill platform.

Usage

Basic Usage

The wmill package has several methods at the top-level for the most frequent operations you will need.

The following are some common examples:

import time

import wmill


def main():
    # Get the value of a variable
    wmill.get_variable("u/user/variable_path")
    
    # Run a script synchronously and get the result
    wmill.run_script("f/pathto/script", args={"arg1": "value1"})
    
    # Get the value of a resource
    wmill.get_resource("u/user/resource_path")
    
    # Set the script's state
    wmill.set_state({"ts": time.time()})
    
    # Get the script's state
    wmill.get_state()

Advanced Usage

The wmill package also exposes the Windmill class, which is the core client for the Windmill platform.

import time

from wmill import Windmill

def main():
    client = Windmill(
        # token=...  <- this is optional. otherwise the client will look for the WM_TOKEN env var
    )

    # Get the current version of the client
    client.version

    # Get the current user
    client.user
    
    # Convenience get and post methods exist for https://app.windmill.dev/openapi.html#/
    # these are thin wrappers around the httpx library's get and post methods
    # list worker groups
    client.get("/configs/list_worker_groups")
    # create a group
    client.post(
        f"/w/{client.workspace}/groups/create",
        json={
            "name": "my-group",
            "summary": "my group summary",
        }
    )
    
    # Get and set the state of the script
    now = time.time()
    client.state = {"ts": now}
    assert client.state == {"ts": now}
    
    # Run a job asynchronously
    job_id = client.run_script_async(path="path/to/script")
    # Get its status
    client.get_job_status(job_id)
    # Get its result
    client.get_result(job_id)
