Abstract
--------
The wps module of the OWSlib package provides client-side functionality for executing invocations to a remote Web Processing Server.


Disclaimer
----------
PLEASE NOTE: the owslib wps module should be considered in beta state: it has been tested versus only a handful of WPS services (deployed by the USGS, BADC and PML).
More extensive testing is needed and feedback is appreciated.


Usage
-----

The module can be used to execute three types of requests versus a remote WPS endpoint:

a) "GetCapabilities"
    - use the method wps.getcapabilities(xml=None)
    - the optional keyword argument "xml" may be used to avoid a real live request, and instead read the WPS capabilities document from a cached XML file

b) "DescribeProcess"
    - use the method wps.describeprocess(identifier, xml=None)
    - identifier is the process identifier, retrieved from the list obtained from a previous "GetCapabilities" invocation
    - the optional keyword argument "xml" may be used to avoid a real live request, and instead read the WPS process description document from a cached XML file

c) "Execute"
    - use the method wps.execute(identifier, inputs, output=None, request=None, response=None),
      which submits the job to the remote WPS server and returns a WPSExecution object that can be used to periodically check the job status until completion
      (or error)

    - the optional keyword argument "request" may be used to avoid re-building the request XML from input arguments, and instead submit a request from a
      pre-made XML file

    - alternatively, an "Execute" request can be built from input arguments by supplying the "identifier", "inputs" and "output" arguments to the execute() method.
        - "identifier" is the mandatory process identifier
        - "inputs" is a dictionary of (key,value) pairs where:
            - key is a named input parameter
            - value is either a string, or any python object that supports a getXml() method
              In particular, a few classes are included in the package to support a FeatuteCollection input:
                  - "WFSFeatureCollection" can be used in conjunction with "WFSQuery" to define a FEATURE_COLLECTION retrieved from a live WFS server.
                  - "GMLMultiPolygonFeatureCollection" can be used to define one or more polygons of (latitude, longitude) points.
          - "output" is an optional output identifier to be included in the ResponseForm section of the request.

    - the optional keyword argument "response" mey be used to avoid submitting a real live request, and instead reading the WPS execution response document
      from a cached XML file (for debugging or testing purposes)
    - the convenience module function monitorExecution() can be used to periodically check the status of a remote running job, and eventually download the output
      either to a named file, or to a file specified by the server.


Examples
--------

The files examples/wps-usgs-script.py, examples/wps-pml-script-1.py and examples/wps-pml-script-2.py contain real-world usage examples
that submits a "GetCapabilities", "DescribeProcess" and "Execute" requests to the live USGS and PML servers. To run:
    cd examples
    python wps-usgs-script.py
    python wps-pml-script-1.py
    python wps-pml-script-2.py

The file wps-client.py contains a command-line client that can be used to submit a "GetCapabilities", "DescribeProcess" or "Execute"
request to an arbitratry WPS server. For example, you can run it as follows:
    cd examples
    To prints out usage and example invocations: wps-client -help
    To execute a (fake) WPS invocation:
        wps-client.py -v -u http://cida.usgs.gov/climate/gdp/process/WebProcessingService -r GetCapabilities -x ../tests/USGSCapabilities.xml

The directory tests/ includes several doctest-style files wps_*.txt that show how to interactively submit a
"GetCapabilities", "DescribeProcess" or "Execute" request, without making a live request but rather parsing the response of cached XML response documents. To run:
    cd tests
    python -m doctest wps_*.txt
    (or python -m doctest -v wps_*.txt for verbose output)

Also, the directory tests/ contains several examples of well-formed "Execute" requests:
    - The files wps_USGSExecuteRequest*.xml contain requests that can be submitted to the live USGS WPS service.
    - The files PMLExecuteRequest*.xml contain requests that can be submitted to the live PML WPS service.
