chives

chives is a collection of Python functions for working with my local media archives.

I store a lot of media archives as static websites, and I use Python scripts to manage the sites. This includes:

  • Verifying every file that's described in the metadata is stored correctly
  • Downloading pages from sites I want to bookmark
  • Checking the quality and consistency of my metadata

This package has some functions I share across multiple archives/sites.

I've written blog posts about some of the code in this repo:

Versioning

This library is monotically versioned. I'll try not to break anything between releases, but I make no guarantees of back-compatibility.

I'm making this public because it's convenient for me, and you might find useful code here, but be aware this may not be entirely stable.

Usage

See the docstrings on individual functions for usage descriptions.

Installation

If you want to use this in your project, I recommend copying the relevant function and test into your codebase (with a link back to this repo).

Alternatively, you can install the package from PyPI:

$ pip install alexwlchan-chives

Development

If you want to make changes to the library, there are instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md.

License
