... And it's just that simple.

• anendpoint is the results of an API call likehttp://pokeapi.co/api/v2/berry orhttp://pokeapi.co/api/v2/move
• aresource is the actual data, from a call tohttp://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/1

Python unit tests are in a separatetests directory and can be run viapython -m tests.

The quick data lookup for a Pokémon type, ispokebase.type_('type-name'), notpokebase.type('type-name'). This is because of a naming conflict with the built-intype function, were you tofrom pokebase import *.

When changing the cache, avoid importing the cache constants directly. You should only import them with the whole cache module. If you do not do this, callingset_cache will not change your local copy of the variable.

NOT THIS!

>>>frompokebase.cacheimportAPI_CACHE

Do this :)
