iRODS is an open-source distributed filesystem manager. This a client API implemented in python.
This project should be considered pre-alpha. Here's what works:
- Establish a connection to iRODS, authenticate
- Implement basic Gen Queries (select columns and filtering)
- Support more advanced Gen Queries with limits, offsets, and aggregations
- Query the collections and data objects within a collection
- Support read, write, and seek operations for files
- Delete data objects
- Create collections
- Delete collections
- Rename data objects
- Rename collections
- Query metadata for collections and data objects
- Add, edit, remove metadata
- Replicate data objects to different resource servers
- Connection pool management
- Implement gen query result sets as lazy queries
- Return empty result sets when CAT_NO_ROWS_FOUND is raised
- Manage permissions
- Manage users and groups
- Manage zones
- Manage resources
PRC requires Python 2.7. Installation with pip is easy!

>>> from irods.session import iRODSSession
>>> sess = iRODSSession(host='localhost', port=1247, user='rods', password='rods', zone='tempZone')If you're an administrator acting on behalf of another user:
>>> from irods.session import iRODSSession
>>> sess = iRODSSession(host='localhost', port=1247, user='rods', password='rods', zone='tempZone',
client_user='another_user', client_zone='another_zone')If no client_zone is provided, the zone parameter is used in its place.
