Python synapsePythonClient release notes for 2.5.0+

synapser 0.11

Improvements

  • Added ability to authenticate from a SYNAPSE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable set with a valid personal access token, e.g.:
# set environment variable prior to using synapser
export SYNAPSE_AUTH_TOKEN='<my_personal_access_token>'

The environment variable will take priority over credentials in the user’s .synapseConfig file or any credentials saved in a prior login using the remember me option.

Deprecation

  • R >= 4.0 is required for this and future versions of synapser.
