Hi!

We’ve had 2 releases of the Python API in the last few days, 3.1.2 and 3.2.0. These new releases introduced the following features:

  • Adds an optional localized property on the Shotgun object which allows to retrieve localized display names on methods schema_entity_read() , schema_field_read() , and schema_read() .

  • Adds a new project_entity parameter to schema_field_update that allows to modify field visibility for a given project.

You can grab the latest release here.

Have a great week everyone!

Hey JF,

I’m checking out the new project_entity parameter in schema_field_update, and hitting some issues…

When adding visible to the properties, I get the following warning when I don’t include the project_entity, which is expected:

API schema_field_update(): The ‘visible’ property requires a project to be updated.

However, when I do add project_entity, it gives me this error:

got an unexpected keyword argument ‘project_entity’

Hi Stephen!

That error seems to imply you are passing a parameter to the Python function that is not supported. Are you sure you are using the Shotgun API v3.2.0 or greater? You can check by running the following from a Python interpreter.

import shotgun_api3
print(shotgun_api3.__version__)

If you are using the Shotgun API through Toolkit, you need to do

from tank_vendor import shotgun_api3
print(shotgun_api3.__version__)

If you are using the API through Toolkit and the version is older, you’ll need to update to core v0.19.1, which is the first release of Toolkit that included a Shotgun API with that feature.

Does that solve your problem?

Is there any more information I can read on how and where python 3 can be used instead of 2?
I knew it was coming but actually not sure how switching over will work…

Ricardo, this doc should give you the info you’re after. :blush:

Let us know if you still have questions.

Thanks JF,

Super helpful! I’ve got the latest Python API locally (v3.2.2), Toolkit is on latest core (v0.19.3), but it looks like the following tk-framework-desktopstartup framework (which is still on core v0.18.168) is the culprit for my error:

Will this framework get upgraded to latest core?

Hi again,
We usually update this framework’s copy of the Toolkit core only when there’s a fix in the sgtk.authentication module, which is why we haven’t updated it in a while. I’m curious to learn how come the Shotgun API gets imported from there instead of from the site configuration or your project. I’ll create a support ticket so we can figure this out in private and report back our results here when we’re done.

Hi Stephen,
Your ticket on Zendesk was auto-closed because you never replied. Do you still need help with this? :smiley: (I’m asking here in case our email got buried in your inbox).
