barecat-cython 0.0.2

Cython-based implementation of the Barecat archive format.

Barecat-Cython

A partial Cython/C implementation of the Barecat storage file format.

Install with:

pip install barecat-cython

Usage

The classes BarecatCython and BarecatMmapCython are similar to barecat.Barecat but do not support writing and advanced functions such as listing directories and globbing, etc. Only retrieving file data based on a given key string (inner filepath) is supported.

The difference between the two classes in barecat_cython`` is that BarecatCythonuses file handles and seek/read to access shard files, whileBarecatMmapCython` uses memory mapping. Depending on computer and filesystem properties, one or the other may be faster, though the difference is not large in my experience.

from barecat_cython import BarecatCython, BarecatMmapCython

with BarecatCython('example.barecat') as bc:
    ...

with BarecatMmapCython('example.barecat') as bc:
    ...
