[![Test and lint SDK](https://github.com/Eppo-exp/python-sdk/actions/workflows/test-and-lint-sdk.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Eppo-exp/python-sdk/actions/workflows/test-and-lint-sdk.yml)

[Eppo](https://www.geteppo.com/) is a modular flagging and experimentation analysis tool. Eppo's Python SDK is built to make assignments in multi-user server side contexts. Before proceeding you'll need an Eppo account.

## Quick start
23+
24+
Begin by initializing a singleton instance of Eppo's client. Once initialized, the client can be used to make assignments anywhere in your app.
25+
26+
#### Initialize once
27+
28+
```python
29+
import eppo_client
30+
from eppo_client.config import Config, AssignmentLogger
31+
32+
client_config = Config(api_key="<SDK-KEY-FROM-DASHBOARD>")
33+
eppo_client.init(client_config)
34+
```
35+
36+
37+
#### Assign anywhere
38+
39+
```python
40+
import eppo_client
41+
42+
client = eppo_client.get_instance()
43+
user = get_current_user()
44+
45+
variation = eppoClient.get_boolean_assignment(
46+
'show-new-feature',
47+
user.id,
48+
{ 'country': user.country },
49+
False
50+
)
51+
```
52+
53+
## Assignment functions
54+
55+
Every Eppo flag has a return type that is set once on creation in the dashboard. Once a flag is created, assignments in code should be made using the corresponding typed function:
56+
57+
```python
58+
get_boolean_assignment(...)
59+
get_numeric_assignment(...)
60+
get_integer_assignment(...)
61+
get_string_assignment(...)
62+
get_json_assignment(...)
63+
```
64+
65+
Each function has the same signature, but returns the type in the function name. For booleans use `get_boolean_assignment`, which has the following signature:
66+
67+
```python
68+
get_boolean_assignment(
69+
flag_key: str,
70+
subject_key: str,
71+
subject_attributes: Dict[str, Any],
72+
default_value: bool
73+
) -> bool:
74+
```
75+
76+
## Initialization options
77+
78+
The `init` function accepts the following optional configuration arguments.
79+
80+
| Option | Type | Description | Default |
81+
| ------ | ----- | ----- | ----- |
82+
| **`assignment_logger`** | [AssignmentLogger](https://github.com/Eppo-exp/python-sdk/blob/ebc1a0b781769fe9d2e2be6fc81779eb8685a6c7/eppo_client/assignment_logger.py#L6-L10) | A callback that sends each assignment to your data warehouse. Required only for experiment analysis. See [example](#assignment-logger) below. | `None` |
83+
| **`is_graceful_mode`** | bool | When true, gracefully handles all exceptions within the assignment function and returns the default value. | `True` |
84+
85+
86+
## Assignment logger
87+
88+
To use the Eppo SDK for experiments that require analysis, pass in a callback logging function to the `init` function on SDK initialization. The SDK invokes the callback to capture assignment data whenever a variation is assigned. The assignment data is needed in the warehouse to perform analysis.
89+
90+
The code below illustrates an example implementation of a logging callback using [Segment](https://segment.com/), but you can use any system you'd like. The only requirement is that the SDK receives a `log_assignment` callback function. Here we define an implementation of the Eppo `SegmentAssignmentLogger` interface containing a single function named `log_assignment`:
91+
92+
```python
93+
from eppo_client.assignment_logger import AssignmentLogger
94+
import analytics
95+
96+
# Connect to Segment.
97+
analytics.write_key = "<SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY>"
98+
99+
class SegmentAssignmentLogger(AssignmentLogger):
100+
def log_assignment(self, assignment):
101+
analytics.track(assignment["subject"], "Eppo Randomization Assignment", assignment)
102+
103+
client_config = Config(api_key="<SDK-KEY-FROM-DASHBOARD>", assignment_logger=SegmentAssignmentLogger())
104+
```
105+
106+
## Philosophy
107+
108+
Eppo's SDKs are built for simplicity, speed and reliability. Flag configurations are compressed and distributed over a global CDN (Fastly), typically reaching your servers in under 15ms. Server SDKs continue polling Eppo’s API at 30-second intervals. Configurations are then cached locally, ensuring that each assignment is made instantly. Evaluation logic within each SDK consists of a few lines of simple numeric and string comparisons. The typed functions listed above are all developers need to understand, abstracting away the complexity of the Eppo's underlying (and expanding) feature set.
