Usage example; what is site_url?

[joe42]

Hi,

Thanks for writing python-sharepoint. I need to read a table from a sharepoint site.
What should I enter for site_url in the usage example?
The URL for the table is https://mysite.example.com/personal/dom1_123444/MyTable/default.aspx
Before I visit this page from Site Content, and move my mousepointer over the link, I can see the javascript function that is going to get executed by clicking it. It has the following parameters:
30:WebNode:34jhkjf-23rfndf-23rfnfj, \u002fpersonal\u002fdom1_123444\u002fMyTable

I tried to execute the example with the first URL I mentioned, and got a "HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized " in self.opener.open(request) when iterating.

So maybe there is another problem with the authentication, since I use https?

Thanks a lot,
joe

Hi celljak,
I solved the problem. Take a look here for my solution: http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/77652/get-data-from-published-accdb-access-database
When you export a new style accdb database, then a new "subsite" is created instead of a simple sharepoint list (which I would describe as a table rather than a list). On this subsite, there are the actual tables(=sharepoint lists) of the database. If you prefer an easier solution, check out if you have permission to use Sharepoint Designer with sharepoint. It seems to be a tool, where you can easily create any kind of workflow inside sharepoint itself, involving any list in sharepoint.

Sadly, this repository is no longer supported; there should be a button in github marking projects as unmaintained.
