This is an experimental way to install Grist on a server quickly with authentication and certificate handling set up out of the box.
Pygrister is a Grist client that covers all the documented APIs. Pygrister keeps track of basic configuration for you, remembering your team site, workspace, working document, so that you don’t have to type in the boring stuff every time. Apart from this and little else, Pygrister is rather low-level: it will call the api and retrieve the response, with only minor changes. If the api call is malformed, you will simply receive a bad HTTP status code.
