13:11 pdurbin donsizemore: morning. I'm still at https://devconfus2019.sched.com/philipdurbin but I was able to ssh into Jenkins this morning. Thanks!
13:13 donsizemore @pdurbin https://jenkins.dataverse.org/job/IQSS-dataverse-develop/lastBuild/
13:40 pdurbin donsizemore: cool, these are the *unit* tests, which is a good start. Next we want the *integration* (API) tests.
13:45 donsizemore @pdurbin no one celebrates small victories any more

15:00 librarpotter I am new to IRC, but I have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to that I hope someone can help me with.  Can I move a nested Dataverse to nest it within another Dataverse in the future?
15:05 pdurbin librarpotter: hi! Yes, it's possible but there is no UI for this. You have to use the API: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.15.1/admin/dataverses-datasets.html#move-a-dataverse
15:13 librarpotter That's great news!
15:14 librarpotter Do you know of any code examples for working with any of the Dataverse APIs that aren't curl? (preference for Python, but others would be great too)
15:20 librarpotter ^ More context I plan to use the API for creating metadata records for datasets and possibly for uploading files to the dataset records.  I have been pointed to using the Native API for this, and examples would be greatly helpful for getting started.
15:24 pdurbin librarpotter: sorry, I'm at a conference (DevConf) so my responses might be a little slow. Can you please leave a comment about this issue I'm working on to improve the API Guide? https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/6086
15:27 pdurbin librarpotter: in addition, it would be fantastic if you create an issue called 'Support "move dataverse" API' at https://github.com/AUSSDA/pyDataverse/issues
15:39 librarpotter Thank you for your help!
15:40 librarpotter I will create issues as I run into them.  My main 1 are examples other then curl in all places and clearer directions for selecting the right API for your need.
