PyAMS (Pyramid Application Management Suite) is a small suite of packages written for applications and content management with the Pyramid framework.

PyAMS is actually mainly used to manage web sites through content management applications (CMS, see PyAMS_content package), but many features are generic and can be used inside any kind of web application.

All PyAMS documentation is available on ReadTheDocs; source code is available on Gitlab and pushed to Github. Doctests are available in the doctests source folder.

ZFiles is an extension package for PyAMS which allows to define a "files storage" environment.

This environment is very simple, and provides several APIs (for REST/JSON, XML-RPC or JSON-RPC protocols) which allows applications to store and retrieve external files of any type (maybe images, videos, PDF files...). Applications which are using the service just get a unique ID (called OID) when they upload a new document, which can be stored by the applications and used to retrieve them afterwards when needed.

ZFiles is just a storage manager for these documents; the lifecycle management is delegated to the applications which use it as storage backend.
