Package cloudfiles

source code

Cloud Files python client API.

Working with result sets:

>>> import cloudfiles
>>> # conn = cloudfiles.get_connection(username='jsmith',                  api_key='1234567890')
>>> conn = cloudfiles.get_connection('jsmith', '1234567890')
>>> # NOTE: For Uk Customers please pass in Default UK Auth URL like EX
>>> conn = cloudfiles.get_connection('username', 'api_key', \ 
>>>                                  authurl = cloudfiles.uk_authurl)
>>> # This will force connectivity to the UK's Auth Service
>>> containers = conn.get_all_containers()
>>> type(containers)
<class 'cloudfiles.container.ContainerResults'>
>>> len(containers)
2
>>> for container in containers:
>>>     print container.name
fruit
vegitables
>>> print containers[0].name
fruit
>>> fruit_container = containers[0]
>>> objects = fruit_container.get_objects()
>>> for storage_object in objects:
>>>     print storage_object.name
apple
orange
bannana
>>>

Setting the argument servicenet=True to get_conection will use the Rackspace ServiceNet network to access Cloud Files (and not the public network) :

>>> import cloudfiles
>>> conn = cloudfiles.get_connection('jsmith', '1234567890',         servicenet=True)
>>> conn.connection_args[0]
'snet-storage4.clouddrive.com'

If you define the environment variable RACKSPACE_SERVICENET it will automatically connect via the servicenet network.

Creating Containers and adding Objects to them:

>>> pic_container = conn.create_container('pictures')
>>> my_dog = pic_container.create_object('fido.jpg')
>>> my_dog.load_from_filename('images/IMG-0234.jpg')
>>> text_obj = pic_container.create_object('sample.txt')
>>> text_obj.write('This is not the object you are looking for.\n')
>>> text_obj.read()
'This is not the object you are looking for.'

Object instances support streaming through the use of a generator:

>>> deb_iso = pic_container.get_object('debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso')
>>> f = open('/tmp/debian.iso', 'w')
>>> for chunk in deb_iso.stream():
..     f.write(chunk)
>>> f.close()

Marking a Container as CDN-enabled/public with a TTL of 30 days

>>> pic_container.make_public(2592000)
>>> pic_container.public_uri()
'http://c0001234.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com'
>>> my_dog.public_uri()
'http://c0001234.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/fido.jpg'

Set the logs retention on CDN-enabled/public Container

>>> pic_container.log_retention(True)
