pip install fhirclient does not include latest (4.0.0) version

[yunwwang]

When will 4.0.0 available in pip?

[hsolbrig]

Excellent news -- grant just came through. Let's set up a session to figure out how best to get this running!

[philipstreck]

@hsolbrig I understand changes are underway architecturally however a release of 4.0 to pip in the interim would build valuable to many organizations developing Python FHIR applications in the immediate time frame. If this is not an option is there anything community members can help with to provide assistance?

[MM-Lehmann]

much easier: pip install -e git+https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py#egg=fhirclient

[SanderSu20]

Any update on this (pip install)?

If not, how could we manually install this to support R4?

Thanks.

You can just do this to install fhirclient 4.0.0 manually (reference: https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py#building-distribution):
git clone https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py.git
cd client-py
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py sdist
python setup.py bdist_wheel
cd dist
pip install fhirclient-4.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Now type pip list | grep fhirclient and you should see fhirclient 4.0.0

[gitpushdashf]

Another alternative: pip install fhirclientr4==4.0.0

[hsolbrig]

Will catch it next week.

[RafaelWO]

It seems that it's back on PyPI again 🎉

pip install fhirclient==4.1.0

https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py/releases/tag/v4.1.0
https://pypi.org/project/fhirclient/

[hsolbrig]

We're hoping to resolve this in the next couple of weeks. I am wanting to propose that we separate the current client.py into three modules:

• The FHIR python generator software -- takes any version/release of FHIR and generates the set of classes that represent it.
• The generated software -- the result of applying the software to DSTU3, R4, selected R5 checkpoints. Each of these would be distributed as a PIP release.
• The Smart Client tools -- the SMART API that uses the generated software to act as an actual client.

Does this make sense to everyone? If so, we can move fairly quickly to make it so.

[palfrey]

@hsolbrig @Culby Any updates on this? It would be really good to get a 4.0 release out, even if it's just a snapshot of the current master.

[danielcoam]

@hsolbrig Any news with that?
The current version on PyPI (3.2.0) is incompatible with the FHIR v4.

Please update about status,

Thanks

[palfrey]

It's not dead yet! We worked on a fork about a year back and ran out of resources and funding. See: https://github.com/hsolbrig/client-py . Funding just arrived ...

How's that going @hsolbrig? Is there any known timelines for a 4.0.0 release?

[pete88b]

In case anyone needs fhirclient as a setuptools requirement, fhirclient@git+https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py worked for me

[chris-umed]

@hsolbrig If contributors are needed to get this project back up and running let me know. Happy to contribute and get others involved and I am sure all the commenters above might even be happy to contribute.

[aadejare]

This is a major issue. Finding out that I've worked with an older client has made me pause SMARTonFHIR integration. Do we know when it will be resolved?

[aadejare]

I think it does since there's been talk on Google groups about getting that support. With that said, I would also think about trying to update the now outdated tutorial.

[hsolbrig]

Can you point me at the tutorial you are referencing?

[aadejare]

Can you point me at the tutorial you are referencing?

Yep, here which I don't think is a full tutorial but at least a getting started page.

[yunwwang]

After four months, this is still not resolved?

[hsolbrig]

'ang on -- we're getting there

[eldruin]

Is the proposed architecture change actually a blocker to publishing the already tagged version 4.0.0 on PyPI?
Internally we are moving ahead with using the 4.0.0 version as tagged here on GH. Maybe other people already do so as well given the age of the tag so a scenario where the current 4.0.0 tag is yanked and updated to a newer commit sounds like unexpected downstream breakage.

[pchakravarthy]

@hsolbrig Can we push the new version 4.0 to pypi. As @eldruin pointed out it would be great to release the 4.0 version to pypi and do the re-architecture as you mentioned.

[ekrempel]

Please consider updating the version in pip asap. I just lost 2 hours not realizing that I try using version of 3.2 of fhirclient with an HAPI server using R4 instead of DSTU3.

I agree, this would be consistent with the hapi-fhir project. Any ETA?

[sbwhitney]

Will catch it next week.

Any status update on updating to version R4 in Pypi?

[singleplayer88]

@BrianKolowitz @hsolbrig +1, it would be really handy to have version 4.0 in pip

[emil45]

Guys come on, just upload the new version.
Our production stuck because of that version issue.

[sbwhitney]

@danielcoam @emil45 this required a bunch of work but we refactored to leverage fhir.resources instead.

[danielcoam]

@sbwhitney Thanks for the reply.

Can you explain?

Do you mean to use the server (for example with post_json) but to build the model with the fhir.resources package?

[sbwhitney]

@sbwhitney Thanks for the reply.

We don’t use the server component but another option would be to package up the python wheel file and host it internally using an internal repository like jfrog artifactory.

[emil45]

I've just got the last and the most important question, if I install it in an alternative way, jfrog/git-tag,
Is the version ready for production? Can I use it safely?

[sbwhitney]

Frankly, I'm glad that we no longer use it altogether as it appears all support has been ceased.

[Cyrusrome22]

Hi everyone, is there any news about this?

[iain-henderson]

Is this still dead? It would be handy to not have to re-implement an existing library.

[hsolbrig]

It's not dead yet! We worked on a fork about a year back and ran out of resources and funding. See: https://github.com/hsolbrig/client-py . Funding just arrived ...

[Culby]

Harold would be great to connect on this.

Not yet -- it is amazing how much time can elapse between the award paperwork and the actual award. Apologies --

I'm sorry. I forgot to add one command (python setup.py bdist_wheel)
It should work now.

[pete88b]

@hsolbrig This is great (o: please count me in

[gitpushdashf]

We could use this as well. Thank you!

[bwalsh]

Any update ?

[honDhan]

would love to help add 4.0.0 to pip!

[aadejare]

Great. Would the FHIR protocols be up to date? Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

@hsolbrig Any updates on this thread? it has been over more than a year since this was last addressed.

[ebrahimebrahim]

As a workaround until the package is updated on PyPI, the following worked for me to get, at the time of writing this, the 4.0.0 version:

pip install git+https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/client-py.git
