Transport abstraction layer split out from Breezy

Dromedary

Dromedary is a transport layer abstraction for version control systems, extracted from the Breezy version control system.

Overview

Dromedary provides a uniform interface for accessing files and directories across different protocols and storage backends. It supports:

• Local filesystem access
• HTTP/HTTPS for web-based repositories
• SFTP for secure remote access
• Memory-based transport for testing
• Various transport decorators for additional functionality

Features

• Protocol abstraction layer
• Support for multiple transport protocols (file, http, https, sftp, memory)
• Transport decorators for logging, readonly access, etc.
• Comprehensive test coverage
• Well-documented API

Installation

pip install dromedary

Usage

from dromedary import get_transport

# Get a transport for a local directory
transport = get_transport('/path/to/directory')

# Get a transport for an HTTP URL
transport = get_transport('http://example.com/repo')

# Use the transport
files = transport.list_dir('.')
content = transport.get('filename').read()

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

Optional dependencies:
