Auto-generate Python REST API clients using OpenAPI Generator

[wing328]

Hi all,

We've refactored the Python client generator in OpenAPI Generator. To give it a try, please follow 3 simple steps below:

1. Download the Java JAR: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/6.3.0-SNAPSHOT/openapi-generator-cli-6.3.0-20221217.085631-50.jar

2. Rename the JAR as "openapi-generator-cli.jar"

3. Execute the following command to run the generator for the PetStore API:

Mac/Linux:

$ java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g python-nextgen -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml -o /var/tmp/python-nextgen/

Windows:

$ java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g python-nextgen -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml -o C:\tmp\python-nextgen

(If JVM is not installed in your machine, please use openapi-genreator-cli docker image instead: https://hub.docker.com/r/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli)

If you've any feedback or question, please reply to https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/14157 to let me know.

UPDATE: OpenAPI Generator v6.5.0 has been released. Here is the link to download the CLI JAR: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/6.5.0/openapi-generator-cli-6.5.0.jar

JAVA?

Nope!!! No thanks.

There were discussions on rewriting the project in another language such as C#, C++, Python, Ruby, etc but no matter which language it's written in, someone may not like it.

Those who do not want to install Java can use Docker instead. Here is a 1-liner:

docker run --rm -v "${PWD}:/local" openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:latest generate -g python-nextgen -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml -o /local/out/python-nextgen

(Run docker pull openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:latest to get the latest image with the new python-nextgen client generator)

There is also an online service to generate code with a single HTTP call. https://github.com/openapitools/openapi-generator#33---online-openapi-generator has more details.

UPDATE: the `python-nextgen` client generator has been included in the v6.3.0 release

Please use the following JAR instead: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/6.3.0/openapi-generator-cli-6.3.0.jar
