Server Connection

Ping the server:

>>> import trustedanalytics as ta
>>> ta.server.ping()
Successful ping to Trusted Analytics ATK at http://localhost:9099/info
>>> ta.connect()

View and edit the server connection:

>>> print ta.server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
headers        : {u'Content-type': u'application/json', u'Authorization': u...
scheme         : http
uri            : 10.54.8.187:9099
user           : test_api_key_1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> ta.server.host
'localhost'

>>> ta.server.host = '10.54.99.99'
>>> ta.server.port = None
>>> print ta.server
host:    10.54.99.99
port:    None
scheme:  http
version: v1

Reset configuration back to defaults:

>>> ta.server.reset()
>>> print ta.server
host:    localhost
port:    9099
scheme:  http
version: v1

Errors

By default, the toolkit does not print the full stack trace when exceptions occur. To see the full Python stack trace of the last (in other words, the most recent) exception:

>>> ta.errors.last

To enable always printing the full Python stack trace, set the show_details property:

>>> import trustedanalytics as ta

# show full stack traces
>>> ta.errors.show_details = True

>>> ta.connect()

# … the rest of your script …

If you enable this setting at the top of your script you get better error messages. The longer error messages are really helpful in bug reports, emails about issues, etc.
