    :alt: Documentation Status

A Python 3.2+ package for various BlackBerry 10-related functions and scripts.

This can be used either as importing the bbarchivist library, or a variety of command-line scripts.

Packaged Executables
--------------------

As of version 2.3.0 (18 December 2015), a few scripts are packaged as Windows executables on `GitHub <https://github.com/thurask/bbarchivist/releases>`__.

To use, just download the archive attached to the latest release, unpack somewhere and double click the executable.

Alternatively, if you wish full functionality or Linux/Mac/BSD support, keep reading.

Installation
------------

Requires Python >=3.2, with 3.5 or later preferred.

To get this package, install with pip:

::

    $ pip install bbarchivist

For some systems, it may be a different command depending on how your system maintainer has organized pip, perhaps like:

::

    $ pip3 install bbarchivist


Python Libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This library requires the
`Requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/>`__
and `Beautiful Soup 4 <http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/#Download>`__
libraries. PGP support requires the `python-gnupg <https://pythonhosted.org/python-gnupg/index.html>`__ library.

Python 3.2 further requires `shutilwhich <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/shutilwhich/>`__.
Installation of shutilwhich on Python 3.3+ has no effect, so it's unnecessary.

External Programs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copies of cap.exe and cfp.exe are included. CFP usage is Windows-only, though.

7-Zip compression (default) uses
`p7zip <http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/>`__
(Linux/Mac/BSD) or `7-Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/download.html>`__ (Windows).
Zip and tar.xxx compression don't require external programs.

PGP support also requires some form of GPG client installed:

- Windows: `Gpg4Win <http://www.gpg4win.org>`__.
- Mac: `GPGTools <https://gpgtools.org>`__.
- Linux/BSD: `GnuPG <https://www.gnupg.org>`__, if not already installed.

Testing
-------

If you want to run the unit tests yourself, you'll also need mock, pytest
and httmock. Install from the requirements-devel file with pip.

Coverage requires installation of pytest-cov.

Testing of GnuPG/7-Zip functions requires setting up GnuPG/7-Zip in the first place.

Contributing
------------

If you wish to contribute to this project, please do the following:

1. Fork and clone source from GitHub (this requires `Git LFS <https://git-lfs.github.com>`__)
2. Make sure all tests run on your system (requires GPG, 7-Zip)
3. Make your changes on a new branch without breaking any tests
4. Open a pull request on GitHub

Documentation
-------------

Online documentation is hosted at `ReadTheDocs <http://bbarchivist.rtfd.org>`__.

Docs use Sphinx for automatic generation.
