Rework to importable client & pip install

rentry 2.0.0

pip install rentry now gives you both a command-line tool and an importable
Python library. Rentry used to be a single file you downloaded by hand. That
still works if you prefer it, but the package is the main path now.

Install

pip install rentry

Still no dependencies.

New: the rentry_client library

from rentry_client import RentryClient

client = RentryClient()
page = client.new(text='hello world', metadata={'PAGE_TITLE': 'Hello'})
print(page['url'], page['edit_code'])

Every method returns the parsed API response as a dict.

New commands

1.x covered new, edit and raw. 2.0.0 adds:

• fetch gets an entry's full details (text, metadata, dates) as JSON
• delete deletes an entry
• update changes an entry's edit code, url or modify code
• -a/--auth-code passes a rentry-auth access code to raw

Other changes

• Metadata can be given as a JSON object, not just newline-separated KEY = value pairs
• The /api endpoints are CSRF-exempt, so no csrf token, cookies or Referer header are needed
• examples/ reorganised into one runnable script per use case
• Releases now build and publish from CI

Breaking: SECRET_* metadata is preserved by default

Code that removed a SECRET_* option (SECRET_EMAIL_ADDRESS,
SECRET_RAW_ACCESS_CODE, SECRET_VERIFY) by omitting it from a full-replace edit
will now find that option quietly kept instead. To change or remove one, pass
update_secret_metadata as the string 'true'. Adding a brand-new SECRET_*
option never needs the flag.

This one fails silently rather than erroring, so check anything that relies on
omission to clear a secret.

CLI compatibility

The 1.x command-line interface is unchanged: new/edit/raw, the -h/-u/-p
flags, stdin piping, output format, exit codes, and the default of
https://rentry.co with zero configuration. Everything above is additive.

2024 Feature Complete Update

This release brings the Rentry API up to date with all new features released in 2024. It adds two new endpoints: delete and fetch, full support for metadata (either as string or JSON) and the ability to update single values without re-supplying all options.

Modernisation Update

Updated to work on install and to add dotenv for easier setup
