Unofficial Python client for Camlistore.

Camlipy try to behave exactly the same way that the original Camlistore Go client. It means you can download file uploaded with camput or the web ui, and file uploaded with Camlipy works well with the ui and camget.

$ sudo pip install camlipy

• Handle symlink/hard link (inode)
• Sharing support
• Handle multi-claim in Claim
• Check out Keep schema
• A read-only FUSE support?

from camlipy import Camlistore

c = Camlistore('http://localhost:3179')

# Basic put/get
my_blob = 'my blob'
blob_ref = c.put_blob(my_blob)

restored_blob = c.get_blob(blob_ref)

# Retrieve a blob
c.get_blob('sha1-0d31c43041edf303d9d136c918a1337abc9bde97')

# Dump blobs without metadata
c.put_blobs(['My Blob'])
# or
with open('/path/to/file', 'rb') as fh:
    c.put_blobs([fh])

# Put/restore files
c.put_file('/path/to/myfile')
# or
c.put_file(fileobj=open('/path/to/myfile'), permanode=True)

# Get as a fileobj (temporary file)
c.get_file('sha1-0d31c43041edf303d9d136c918a1337abc9bde97')
# Or get directly in a file
with open('/path/to/restored_file', 'wb') as fh:
    c.get_file('sha1-0d31c43041edf303d9d136c918a1337abc9bde97', fh)

# Put/restore directories
blob_ref = c.put_directory('/path/to/my/dir')
c.get_directory(blob_ref)

# Search blobs
c.search('tag:mytag')

Camlipy provide a basic command line utility, that let put/get blobs. It supports raw blob, file and directory.

$ camlipy config https://mycamlistorehost.com
$ camlipy put /path/to/file
$ camlipy put /this/path --permanode
$ camlipy get sha1-0d31c43041edf303d9d136c918a1337abc9bde97
$ camlipy get sha1-0d31c43041edf303d9d136c918a1337abc9bde97 --contents
$ echo 'My Blob' | camlipy put -

• Ported rollsum to a C extension with swig, 30 seconds speedup for a 5MB files.
• Now uses ujson (faster) instead of simplejson.
• Skip file chunking for small files that fit in one chunk.
• New PlannedPermanode schema.

Tests runs with devcam server (Camlistore development server), see HACKING from Camlistore.
