Installation¶
Installation is easy as *PyPI* with the pip package manager.
pip¶
To install with pip:
>> pip install civicpy
That’s it!
Configuring Cache Save¶
A local copy of the CIViCpy cache is kept by default at your $HOME/.civicpy/cache.pkl directory. You may configure an environment variable CIVICPY_CACHE_FILE to adjust this destination path for storing the cache. For example:
>> .bashrc << echo "export CIVICPY_CACHE_FILE=$HOME/.civicpy/cache.pkl"
When loading a cache, it will be updated automatically by CIViCpy if stale (default: after 7 days). Cache stale time is configurable when calling civic.update_cache().
