saspy 3.5.0

V3.5.0

on Python PyPI

This release has a few enhancements to the HTTP access method, including the url= key, which can be used instead of the ip= and port= and ssl= keys, as all of that will be determined from the url when in the format 'http[s]://host.identifier[:port]'.
But, the most significant changes in this release are to df2sd and various sd2df methods. There was a bug found regarding parsing the data values in each direction, where a leading double quote (with no trailing one) in a character columns could cause both SAS and Pandas to use 'csv' parsing rules that ignore the delimiters being used to delimit the raw data values and honor the quotes. This caused failures to be able to move data correctly in each direction; parsing column data incorrectly. These methods have always used a delimiting strategy to transfer data both directions, so as to not send blank padded, full length data (SAS only has fixed length padded character columns), and to not need to parse and manipulate the data, adding extra quoting and escaping data values. The fixes and enhancements in this version address these edge cases found here and make transfers in both directions more robust. More details can be found in PR #314.
