Installation

catleg is tested on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Using pip

The catleg package can be installed using pip like so:

pip install catleg

Using pipx

pipx is a tool for installing Python command-line applications in their own isolated environments. You can use pipx to install the catleg command-line tool like this:

pipx install catleg

Providing Legifrance credentials

catleg uses the Legifrance API to access French legislative texts.

This API is authenticated and requires credentials, which may be obtained by registering on the Piste portal.

To provide credentials to catleg, create a .catleg_secrets.toml file like so:

lf_client_id = "your_client_id"
lf_client_secret = "your_client_secret"

Alternatively, you may define the environment variables CATLEG_LF_CLIENT_ID and CATLEG_LF_CLIENT_SECRET.

Note

Legifrance authentication requires oauth credentials, not an API key.
