Imported classes are prefixed in Client Library

Question

In Python I'm creating backend for my Android app. My code is too big so I broke it to 2 files with functions and one with shared classes (shared_classes.py) which inherit from messages.Message.

When I generate client library, all classes get prefixed with name of the python file I stored them in (they look like: SharedClassesExampleName.java).

Is it possible to force endpointscfg.py to stop generating library with prefixed python classes?

Answer 1

As described on this page (in step no. 4)

The "package=" line is used by the underlying ProtoRpc when creating names for the ProtoRPC messages you create. This package name will show up as a prefix to your message class names in the discovery doc and client libraries.

So you if you encounter this problem just add package=' ' (empty value) and your classes will not be prefixed.

Answer 2

customize the API method name with

@endpoints.method(name='subject.action')

and API class with

name = "appname"

your API will be accessible at

gapi.client.appname.subject.action()
