Recipe Conventions

Each of our Python recipes use a set of common conventions.

We use Python and FogBugzPy. See the Quick Start Guide or Installing Python and FogBugzPy.
We use an fbSettings file to store the FogBugz URL and token. See Storing Configuration Settings in fbSettings.py
An explanation of the script and how to use it is in a docstring (triple-quoted text) at the top of the file.
Variables that you need to edit to be specific to your situation are variables, e.g. IX_PERSON_UP_FOR_GRABS, right below the documentation text. Replace the values of these variables to match your situation.

Here's an example:

example.py

Example

This script prints 10 cases assigned to a specified user.

To run this script:
1. Edit the IX_PERSON value to match the person you want to find cases for
2. Run this script using:
   > python example.py

See https://developers.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W194 for more
information on using the FogBugz XML API with Python.
'''
IX_PERSON_TO_SEARCH = 2 # The ixPerson value of the person you want
                        # to find cases for

from fogbugz import FogBugz
import fbSettings

fb = FogBugz(fbSettings.URL, fbSettings.TOKEN)

resp = fb.search(q='assignedto:"=%s"' % IX_PERSON_TO_SEARCH,
                 cols='sTitle',
                 max=10)
for case in resp.cases.findAll('case'):
    ixBug = int(case['ixbug'])
    sTitle = case.stitle.string.encode('UTF-8')
    print "%s: %s" % (ixBug, sTitle)
