Getting started with the python SDK

@srish What's the programming language you're using?

TL;DR

User is asking for help in getting started with the python SDK. They provide some code and mention that they are getting an error. Some confusion arises around the use of `client.setEndpoint()` and `account.create_session(email, password)`. A user suggests a code modification and the removal of a section of code. The updated code is provided. The user tries the updated code but still encounters the same error. They mention using Python.

seems to be python

Yes python

See is there any error?

You should do this:

TypeScript

result = users.create(ID.unique(), email=email, password=password, name=name)```

import ID from appwrite SDK

Remove this code:

TypeScript

# Generate a unique user_id using the email address and a unique identifier
userid = re.sub(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9.-]', '', email)  # Remove any special characters from the email
userid += '' + str(uuid.uuid4())
user_id = user_id[:36]

Here is the updated code

But still showing the same error

In the first image, remove your validation of user id. You are not supposed to validate user id yourself, appwrite does it on the backend and the returned error may be handled on the frontend. FYI, ID.unique() returns the string unique() and the backend generates an unique id internally

R u talking about user_id=ID.unique()?

This line👆

Btw, it's best to use 3 back ticks with multi-line code. See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting

Your code should be someting like this:

TypeScript

@app.route('/signup', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def signup():
    error_message = None
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Retrieve form data
        email = request.form['email']
        password = request.form['password']
        name = request.form['name'] if 'name' in request.form else ''

        try:
            result = users.create(ID.unique(), email=email, password=password, name=name)
            response = account.create_session(email, password)
            session_data = response.json()
            # Store the session data in the user's session
            session['userId'] = session_data['userId']
            session['email'] = email
            session['token'] = session_data['$id']
            # Redirect to the login page after successful signup
            return redirect(url_for('login'))
        except Exception as e:
            error_message = str(e)
            

    # Render the signup template
    return render_template('signup.html', error_message=error_message)
