multiple filters/segments for google analytics integrations

[changhiskhan]

Right now being passed into underlying google api as a list of string. Need to investigate how to specify AND vs OR

[jreback]

FYI this is also issue with specifying search expressions in HDFStore

need a mini boolean language to specify things like this

[jcbozonier]

I am running into this issue right now. Any known workarounds? At least being able to specify the string myself would help a bunch.

I'm also wondering if there's a way to just pass the raw string. Maybe access format_query directly? I'd like to be able to follow the Google Analytics filter logic as documented here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference

@cpcloud this could be a backend like query-language for HDFStore is now (but would prob take some work)

@jreback looks interesting ... i'll take a look

[jreback]

@cpcloud its like SQL parsing, sort of

[cpcloud]

just looks like and -> ;, or -> ,

[cpcloud]

FYI the only parsing needed here is to search for the query type name e.g., filter, start-date, etc. and then build up a dict by splitting each query type on its = character...

just wanted to point that out for any first time contributors or anyone else interested in implementing this.

Just submitted a PR that fixes this #8806

It's my first one, so I'm not sure i followed the proper procedure.

I have been using this modification for a while on my job and I thought it would be good to contribute :)

I have made a fix for this as well if anyone is interested, the filter syntax now works as:

filters = ['browser=~Firefox' , 'or', 'browser=~Chrome', 'and', 'language!~^en.*']

which is more in line with the rest of the module behaviour in that it doesn't require select useage of the ga: prefix. Not sure how to post it here though...

Ah, easy! I'll do that a little later today.
