mfws and python

The project is coming along nicely. The following makes a quick graphical window to test the quick search function:

#testbed for requests (http api) and mfiles REST interface
import requests #third party. all others std library

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

baseurl = 'http://localhost/m-files/REST'

"Username": "yourname", "Password": "yourpassword",
"VaultGuid": "{1E5F2435-AFB8-4A7D-92D3-45B04D1268D9}"
})
return json.loads(requests.post(authentication, data = data).text)['Value']

def search():
#reads search term from entry widget, joins it to the url
#queries mfiles using authentication tokens and url
#returns the query results
searchterm = Ent.get()
url = ''.join((baseurl, "/Objects.aspx?q=", searchterm))
headers = {"content-type":"aplication/json", 'X-Authentication':authtoken}
condition_results(json.loads(requests.get(url, headers=headers).text))
