>>> client.session_create()
True

>>> client.ticket_get_by_id(1)
True
>>> client.result_list_ticket_get
[<Ticket: 1>]
>>> my_ticket = client.result_list_ticket_get[0]

>>> my_ticket.TicketNumber
u'2010080210123456'
>>> my_ticket.Title
u'Welcome to OTRS!'
>>> my_ticket.to_dct()  # Show complete ticket

• add an Article to Ticket with ID 1

>>> my_article = Article({"Subject": "Subj", "Body": "New Body"})
>>> client.ticket_update(1, article=my_article)
True

• get Articles and Attachments

>>> client.ticket_get_by_id(1, articles=1, attachments=1)  # include Articles and Attachments
>>> my_ticket = client.result_list_ticket_get[0]

>>> my_ticket.list_articles
[<ArticleID: 3>, <ArticleID: 3>

>>> my_ticket.list_dynamic_field
[<DynamicField: ProcessManagementActivityID: None>, <DynamicField: ProcessManagementProcessID: None>]

PyOTRS CLI

Bash Completion

http://click.pocoo.org/5/bashcomplete/

For instance, to enable Bash completion put this into your .bashrc::

eval "$(_FOO_BAR_COMPLETE=source foo-bar)"

Or Built .sh script

Activation Script The above activation example will always invoke your application on startup. This might be slowing down the shell activation time significantly if you have many applications. Alternatively, you could also ship a file with the contents of that, which is what Git and other systems are doing.

This can be easily accomplished:

_PYOTRS_COMPLETE=source PyOTRS > /path/to/PyOTRS-complete.sh
And then you would put this into your bashrc instead:

source /path/to/PyOTRS-complete.sh

Zsh Completion

There is no native support for zsh completion, but zsh can use the bash completion script. Put this into your .zshrc:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /path/to/PyOTRS-complete.sh
