This is mostly for the people developing python/TG apps that need to talk to the Account System. If you are querying fas1 using the fedora.accounts.fas module you may want to look into porting to a new method I added and deployed over the weekend. The method is get_users() and it returns public information about all the users in the FAS. This is useful when you have to hit the FAS for a lot of information about people -- for instance, querying the FAS to map userid's to human_name for every person in your db. In that scenario you would have to spend a large amount of time waiting for the db to respond to your queries if you had to send them as individual requests via get_user_info(). This has recently become more of an issue since we're starting to create app servers outside of the phx colo. Those servers take more time to contact the db server inside of phx which means every round trip to the db server is more expensive. Example usage[*]: >>> from fedora.accounts.fas import AccountSystem >>> fas = AccountSystem() >>> userList = fas.get_users() >>> print userList[100068]['username'] toshio >>> userListByName = fas.get_users(keyField='username') >>> print userListByName['toshio']['id'] 100068 Refer to the docstring for more information: $ pydoc fedora.accounts.fas.AccountSystem.get_users [*] You'll need to be able to access the fedora-db-access file to actually use this code. Your TG app running under supervisor has that permission but your regular user may not. -Toshio
