Code review – Contentstack Python CDA SDK

When to use

  • Reviewing a PR, self-review before submit, or running an automated review pass.

Instructions

Checklist

  • API: New or changed Stack / content-type / query / entry methods documented; contentstack/__init__.py exports updated if needed.
  • Version: __version__ in contentstack/__init__.py aligned with release strategy for breaking changes.
  • HTTP: https_connection.py / controller.py changes keep retry and timeout behavior predictable.
  • Tests: pytest tests/ passes; extend tests/ when CDA behavior changes.
  • Secrets: No tokens in repo; config.py remains local-only when it holds real credentials.

Public API

  • Exported Stack, ContentType, Query, asset/entry helpers match README and consumer expectations; contentstack/__init__.py __all__ stays accurate when exports change.
  • Docstrings on Stack and key public methods when behavior or options change.

Compatibility

  • Avoid breaking Stack.__init__ signatures or method chains without a semver strategy; document migration for breaking changes in setup.py / __version__.

HTTP / dependencies

  • Changes to requests, retry behavior, or HTTPSConnection should stay consistent with contentstack/controller.py and urllib3.Retry usage in stack.py.

Security

  • No hardcoded tokens in source or docs; no logging of api_key, delivery_token, preview_token, or management_token.

Severity (optional)

LevelExamples
BlockerBreaking public API without approval; security issue; no tests for new logic
MajorInconsistent HTTP/retry behavior; README examples that don't match code
MinorStyle; minor docs
