pypanopto

The pypanopto library provides Python integration with the Panopto SOAP API and the Panopto Upload API.

The library currently supports a small set of API endpoints. The Zeep client handles the underlying SOAP interaction.

• LogOnWithPassword
• LogOnWithExternalProvider
• GetSessionsById
• AddFolder

The upload flow encapsulates the mix of soap client interaction and S3 upload protocol.

The library is used at Columbia University's Center for Teaching And Learning to handle file upload in our Wardenclyffe video management system and playback in Mediathread, our multimedia annotation tool.
