Refactor configuration into separate module There is a good example of this in the Project Weekend GitHub profile. See: https://github.com/projectweekend/Falcon-PostgreSQL-API-Seed 2018-09-18 15:59:28 +02:00			`import os`

			`# Check if Solr connection information was provided in the environment`

Add vim modeline to all Python files Uses four spaces for tab and shift widths, and turns on expansion of tabs to spaces. 2018-09-23 10:33:26 +02:00
Use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite I was very surprised how easy and fast and robust SQLite was, but in the end I realized that its UPSERT support only came in version 3.24 and both Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 have older versions than that! I did manage to install libsqlite3-0 from Ubuntu 18.04 cosmic on my xenial host, but that feels dirty. PostgreSQL has support for UPSERT since 9.5, not to mention the same nice LIMIT and OFFSET clauses. 2018-09-24 23:49:47 +02:00			`DATABASE_NAME = os.environ.get('DATABASE_NAME', 'dspacestatistics')`

app.py: Get item statistics from SQLite database It is much more efficient to cache view and download statistics in a database than to query Solr on demand (not to mention that it is not possible to page easily with facets in Solr). I decided to use SQLite because it is fast, native in Python 3, and doesn't require any extra steps during provisioning (assuming permissions are ok). 2018-09-23 15:47:00 +02:00
