Project description

Cirro Client

Build Python package Lint and run tests

A Python 3.8+ library for the Cirro platform.

Installation

You can install Cirro using pip:

pip install cirro

or by cloning the repository and running:

python setup.py install

Authentication

Upon first use, the Cirro client will ask if you would like to save your login information and give you a link to authenticate through the web browser.

If you need to change your credentials after this point, and you've opted to save your login, please see the clearing saved login section.

Advanced Usage

Supported environment variables

Name Description Default
PW_HOME Local configuration directory ~/.cirro
PW_BASE_URL Base URL of the data portal cirro.bio

Configuration

The cirro-cli configure command creates a file in PW_HOME called config.ini.

You can set the base_url property in the config file rather than using the environment variable.

The transfer_max_retries configuration property specifies the maximum number of times to attempt uploading a file to Cirro in the event of a transfer failure. When uploading files to Cirro, network issues or temporary outages can occasionally cause a transfer to fail. It will pause for an increasing amount of time for each retry attempt.

[General]
base_url = cirro.bio
transfer_max_retries = 15

Clearing saved login

You can clear your saved login information by removing the ~/.cirro/token.dat file from your system or by running cirro-cli configure and selecting No when it asks if you'd like to save your login information.
