• datautils is required to parse ISO 8601 format dates.

• SimpleJSON is very strongly recommended. It's best because we have to control how decimals are encoded and decoded into JSON. We do have some workaround code in place to use the stock json module, but it's a ugly hack that can only work some of the time.

• Requests module is strongly recommended, but not required.

• py.test is needed, but only if you want to run the test code in test_code.py

• PubNub python library is needed, if you want to monitor real-time events.

• This code should work directly on Google App Engine without changes.

See version numbers in the requirements.txt file, which should be ready to use with pip install -r requirements.txt. It includes the full compliment of dependances.

standalone/ck-helper.py is a simple cURL helper program that calculates the authentication headers you will need. It provides a great way to quickly test requests. Feel free to pull the authentication code from there or the library.

ckapi is a module you can incorporate into your server-side code. It handles authentication and HTTPS traffic (including the all-important certificate verification), plus provides wrappers for some of the most useful API resources. It does magic in the JSON decoding to provide more realistic objects to your programs, and correctly decode decimal.Decimal numbers.

Also included in the library:

• Testing code which can be a source of examples (see test_code.py).

• paper.py which simplifies the rendering of receipts for terminals.
