About

This is a simple Python module providing functions for querying Stack Overflow. I created it mostly because I was interested and because I wanted something small (it's not even 400 lines). It's simple; it works with Stack Overflow out of the box. Just import pyso and start calling the functions. All results are Python dicts and/or lists, a straight deserialization provided by a json module. A generator is returned by functions that return multiple items.

All the functions are backed by a simple APISite class that does all the data fetching. To access another Stack Exchange site call install_site() with a new APISite instance created with the site API URL, e.g. "api.serverfault.com". Also, in cases where there isn't a pyso level function available this class can be used to make your a request. As well, there isn't a whole of error handling or documentation, so read the source.
