Create and manage WARC files. Currently in planning / pre-alpha stage.
Project description
Bibliotheca Anonoma’s library for creating and managing WARC files.
This library is in the planning / pre-alpha stage. It is still being written, and is not yet suitable for any real-world usage at this point. While we are still writing and designing the API, anything can change without any notice.
Pull requests are appreciated, but due to the early stage of development you may need to overhaul your PR as we update the project code.
This library is primarily being written for BASC-Archiver, and planned to be integrated into a new/existing downloading library.
Planned Features
Python 2/3 compatibility.
Thread-safe.
Streaming reading/writing of WARC files, for dealing with very large files on systems with smaller amounts of memory.
CDX file creation and management.
Included scripts that do useful work, possibly allowing viewing or extracting information and files from WARCs / appending WARCs / creating CDX files from WARCs, similar to megawarc, CDX-Writer, or warctools.
