Changed

• Tweak Changed the value of Context in the HTTP config definitions in the example sascfg.py file to use
  the more likely SAS Studio compute context. This has no effect on any code. It's just an example configuration.

• Enhanced df2sd() now raises an exception (SASDFNamesToLongError) if any of the column names are longer than 32 bytes,
  in the SAS Session encoding, since the data step will fail for those columns and produce errors in the log, but SAS still create
  the SAS Data set, incorrectly. Previously, df2sd returned the SASData object, and issued a message about finding Errors in the log,
  but didn't fail. The resultant SAS Data Set wasn't correct so checking for this and raising the exception is what should happen.
  I also write a message with each column name that is too long, so you know which one(s) need to be changed. And remember, SAS's
  restriction on these names is 32 bytes in the SAS Session encoding, and not necessarily 32 characters of utf-8 from Python.

Fixed

• Fixed I found a bug in the code that parses the authinfo file to find the authkey. It was using startswith(authkey)
  to find the line to use, for the user and password. But startswith() isn't looking at the first word, only so many characters.
  This could result in using the wrong line from the authinfo file. For instance, if you had a line with the authkey of tom1 and
  another line further in the file with authkey of tom, then looking for authkey='tom' would use the first line with tom1 for the
  credentials instead of the correct line starting with tom. Simple fix to parse it correctly so it compares the whole first
  word of the line now.
