Project Structure:

• Python library (a helper class for each webservice for easy use of their methods and attributes)
• PyAfipWs: OCX-like Windows COM interface compatible with legacy programming languages (VB, VFP, Delphi, PHP, VB.NET, etc.)
• LibPyAfipWs: DLL/.so compiled shared library (exposing python methods to C/C++/C#)
• Console (command line) tools using simplified input & ouput files
• PyRece GUI and FacturaLibre WEB apps as complete reference implementations
• Examples for Visual Basic, Visual Fox Pro, Delphi, C, PHP.
• Minor code fragment samples for SAP (ABAP), PowerBuilder, Fujitsu Net Cobol, Clarion, etc.
• Modules for OpenERP - Tryton

Features implemented:

• Supported alternate interchange formats: TXT (fixed lenght COBOL), CSV, DBF (Clipper/xBase/Harbour), XML, JSON, etc.
• Full automation to request authentication and invoice authorization (CAE, COE, etc.)
• Advanced XML manipulation, caching and proxy support.
• Customizable PDF generation and visual designer (CSV templates)
• Email, barcodes (PIL), installation (NSIS), configuration (.INI), debugging and other misc utilities

Installation Instructions:

Quick-Start

On Ubuntu (GNU/Linux), you will need to install httplib2 and openssl binding. Then you can download the compressed file, unzip it and use:

   sudo apt-get install python-httplib2 python-m2crypto
   wget https://pyafipws.googlecode.com/archive/default.zip
   unzip default.zip
   cd pyafipws-default
   sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: M2Crypto is optional, the library will use OpenSSL directly (using subprocess)

Virtual environment (testing):

The following commands clone the repository, creates a virtualenv and install the packages there (including the latest versions of the dependencies) to avoid conflicts with other libraries:

   sudo apt-get install python-dev swig python-virtualenv mercurial python-pip libssl-dev
   hg clone https://code.google.com/p/pyafipws
   cd pyafipws
   virtualenv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependency installation (development):

For SOAP webservices PySimpleSOAP is needed (spin-off of this library, inspired by the PHP SOAP extension):

    hg clone https://code.google.com/p/pysimplesoap/ 
    cd pysimplesoap
    hg update reingart
    sudo python setup.py install

For PDF generation, you will need the PyFPDF (PHP's FPDF library, python port):

    hg clone https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/ 
    cd pyfpdf
    sudo python setup.py install

For the GUI app, you will need wxPython:

    sudo apt-get install wxpython

PythonCard is being replaced by gui2py:

    hg clone https://code.google.com/p/gui2py/ 
    cd gui2py
    sudo python setup.py install

For the WEB app, you will need web2py.

On Windows, you can see available installers released for evaluation purposes on Downloads
