Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

DXHTTPRequest

✓ import dxpy

✗ from dxpy import DXHTTPRequest

DXHTTPRequest is not in the public API; use dxpy.DXHTTPRequest() from the top-level import.

DXJob

✓ import dxpy

✗ from dxpy.exceptions import *

Many classes are re-exported from the top-level `dxpy` package. Prefer `dxpy.DXJob` over deeply nested imports.

Sets authentication and lists accessible projects.

import os import dxpy dxpy.set_security_context({ 'auth_token': os.environ.get('DX_AUTH_TOKEN', ''), 'project_id': os.environ.get('DX_PROJECT_ID', '') }) # List projects for p in dxpy.find_projects(): print(p.name)

Known issues

breakingPython 2 support dropped in dxpy >=0.300. Upgrade your code to Python 3.8+.

fix

Use Python 3.8+ and update any deprecated API calls.

affects: >=0.300

gotchaDon't import individual submodules (e.g., `from dxpy import DXHTTPRequest`). Always use `import dxpy` and access attributes via `dxpy.`.

fix

Use `import dxpy` and call `dxpy.DXHTTPRequest()`.

affects: all

gotchaEnvironment vars `DX_AUTH_TOKEN` and `DX_PROJECT_ID` must be set or authentication will fail silently.

fix

Set environment variables or call `dxpy.set_security_context()` with explicit credentials.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named dxpy

dxpy not installed or not in the current Python environment.

fix

Run `pip install dxpy` in the target environment.

dxpy.exceptions.DXAPIError: Authentication required

Auth token missing or expired.

fix

Set `DX_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable or use `dxpy.set_security_context({'auth_token': '...'})`.

AttributeError: module 'dxpy' has no attribute 'DXJob'

Outdated dxpy version (<0.300) or incorrect import.

fix

Upgrade dxpy: `pip install --upgrade dxpy` and ensure you use `import dxpy`.
