v1.8.2
Release notes - Synapse Python Client - Version 1.8.2
Install Instructions: pip install --upgrade synapseclient or see http://docs.synapse.org/python/#installation
Documentation: http://sage-bionetworks.github.io/synapsePythonClient
Release Date: 17-August-2018
In this release, we have been performed some house-keeping on the code base. The two major changes are:
- making
syn.move()available to move an entity to a new parent in Synapse. For example:
import synapseclient
from synapseclient import Folder
syn = synapseclient.login()
file = syn.get("syn123")
folder = Folder("new folder", parent="syn456")
folder = syn.store(folder)
# moving file to the newly created folder
syn.move(file, folder)
- exposing the ability to use the Synapse Python client with single threaded. This feature is useful when running Python script in an environment that does not support multi-threading. However, this will negatively impact upload speed. To use single threaded:
import synapseclient
synapseclient.config.single_threaded = True
