        Prospyr runs on Python 2.7 or Python 3.4+. 
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        .. code-block:: sh
        
            pip install prospyr
        
        Quickstart
        ==========
        
        If you've used Django, Prospyr might feel strangely familiar.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import connect, Person, Company
        
            # see https://www.prosperworks.com/developer_api/token_generation to obtain
            # a token.
            cn = connect(email='user@domain.tld', token='1aefcc3...')
        
            # collections can be ordered and sliced.
            newest_person = Person.objects.order_by('-date_modified')[0]
        
            # new records can be created.
            art = Person(
                name='Art Vandelay',
                emails=[{'email': 'art@vandelayindustries.net', 'category': 'work'}]
            )
            art.create()  # Art is local-only until .create() is called
        
            # related objects can be read and assigned
            art.company = Company.objects.all()[0]
            art.update()
        
            # and deleting works too.
            art.delete()
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Connecting
        ----------
        
        To connect, you'll need an email and token per
        `token generation <https://www.prosperworks.com/developer_api/token_generation>`_.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import connect
        
            cn = connect(email='...', token='...')
        
        All reads are cached per–connection for five minutes. You can pass a custom
        cache instance when connecting to ProsperWorks to change this behaviour.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import connect
            from prospyr.cache import NoOpCache, InMemoryCache
        
            # only cache the last request
            cn = connect(email='...', token='...', cache=InMemoryCache(size=1))
        
            # no caching
            cn = connect(email='...', token='...', cache=NoOpCache())
        
        You can also substitute your own custom cache here to use e.g. Redis or
        memcached.
        
        Prospyr also supports multiple named connections. Provide a ``name='...'``
        argument when calling ``connect()`` and refer to the connection when
        interacting with the API later, e.g. ``Person.objects.get(id=1, using='...')``.
        
        Create
        ------
        
        You can create new records in ProsperWorks.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Person
        
            steve = Person(
                name='Steve Cognito',
                emails=[{'category': 'work', 'email': 'steve@example.org'}]
            )
        
            # steve only exists locally at this stage
            steve.id
            >>> None
        
            # now he exists remotely too
            steve.create()
            >>> True
            steve.id
            >>> 1
        
        Read
        ----
        
        There are two ways to read a single record from ProsperWorks. A new instance
        can be fetched using the resource's ``objects.get()`` method, or you can call
        ``read()`` on an existing instance to have its attributes refreshed.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Person
        
            # a new instance
            steve = Person.objects.get(id=1)
            steve.name
            >>> 'Steve Cognito'
        
            # update an existing instance
            steve = Person(id=1)
            steve.read()
            >>> True
            steve.name
            >>> 'Steve Cognito'
        
        Update
        ------
        
        Note that “update” means to push an update to ProsperWorks using your local
        data, rather than to refresh local data using ProsperWorks. In this example,
        Steve is fetched from ProsperWorks and given a new title. Hey, congrats on the
        promotion Steve.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Person
        
            steve = Person.objects.get(id=1)
            steve.title = 'Chairman'
            steve.update()
            >>> True
        
        Delete
        ------
        
        When Steve has reached the end of his useful lifespan, he can be deleted too.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Person
        
            steve = Person.objects.get(id=1)
            steve.delete()
            >>> True
        
        Ordering
        --------
        
        Resource collections can be ordered. Check the `ProsperWorks API documentation
        <https://www.prosperworks.com/developer_api/>`_ to learn which fields can be
        ordered. However, Prospyr does check that the fields you argue are correct.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Person
        
            # oldest first
            rs = Person.objects.order_by('date_modified')
        
            # newest first (note the hyphen)
            rs = Person.objects.order_by('-date_modified')
        
            # At this stage, no requests have been made. Results are lazily evaluated
            # and paging is handled transparently.
        
            # The results can be indexed and sliced like a Python list. Doing so forces
            # evaluation. The below causes the first page of results to be fetched.
            rs[0]
            >>> <Person: Steve Cognito>
        
            # No request is required here, as the Bones was on the first page requested
            # above. The default page size is 200.
            rs[1]
            >>> <Person: Bones Johannson>
        
            # This result is on the second page, so another request is fired.
            rs[200]
            >>> <Person: Alfons Tundra>
        
        Once ``ResultSet`` instances have been evaluated they are cached for their
        lifetime. However, the ``filter()`` and ``order_by()`` methods return new
        ``ResultSet`` instances which require fresh evaluation. While you are dealing
        with a single ``ResultSet``, it is safe to iterate and slice it as many times
        as necessary.
        
        
        Filtering
        ---------
        
        Resource collections can be filtered. Check the `ProsperWorks API documentation
        <https://www.prosperworks.com/developer_api/>`_ to learn which filters can be
        used. Prospyr does *not* currently validate your filter arguments, and note
        that ProsperWorks does not either; if you make an invalid filter argument,
        results will be returned as though you had not filtered at all.
        
        Multiple filters are logically ANDed together. A single call to ``filter()``
        with many parameters is equivalent to many calls with single parameters.
        
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import Company
        
            active = Company.objects.filter(minimum_interaction_count=10)
            active_in_china = active.filter(country='CN')
        
            # this is equivalent
            active_in_china = Company.objects.filter(
                minimum_interaction_count=10,
                country='CN'
            )
        
        As with ordering, filtered results are evaluated lazily and then cached
        indefinitely. Re-ordering or re-filtering results in a new ``ResultSet`` which
        requires fresh evaluation.
        
        ProsperWorks' “Secondary Resources”, such as Pipeline Stages, cannot be
        filtered or ordered. These resources use ``ListSet`` rather than ``ResultSet``
        instances; these only support the ``all()`` method:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from prospyr import PipelineStage
        
            PipelineStage.objects.all()
            >>> <ListSet: Qualifying, Quoted, ...>
        
        
        Tests
        =====
        
        .. code-block:: sh
        
            pip install -r dev-requirements
        
            # test using the current python interpreter
            make test
        
            # test with all supported interpreters
            tox
