dsmsfilepackager 0.1.14

Add select files or directories to a bundle of files, generate a manifest, and upload or download from an SFTP server. For use with DSMS.

Please note that filepackages are not thread safe. It is up to you to ensure that only one process is manipulating a package at any point in time. For this reason, it’s recommended that you use a uuid such as the Celery task ID to ensure each process has its own space.

How to use when writing a new package:

from dsmsfilepackager.filepackage import DSMSFilePackage
import uuid

fpack = DSMSFilePackage(target_id=111, job_id=13244, uid=uuid.uuid4(),
                        hostname="remote_sagenth.example.com",
                        hostport="1222", username="theuser",
                        priv_key="/home/theuser/.sagenth/key",
                        local_root="/tmp/cache",
                        remote_root="/upload_target")

# register in manifest
fpack.add("myfile.txt")
fpack.add_dir("docs/")

fpack.finish_and_upload()  # generate a manifest and upload

Once package generation has finished, the files will be both locally at /tmp/cache/111/13244/[uuid], as well as on the FTP server under /upload_target/111/13244/[uuid].

Now, other processes can either access the locally cached files if they’re available, or they’ll be fetched via SFTP and moved into the local cache if not.

How to fetch a previously stored package:

 # auto-get remote files, reading from cache when available

 >>> fpack = filepackage.fetch(target_id=111, job_id=13244, uid=uuid.uuid4(),
                               host="remote_sagenth.example.com",
                               hostport="1222", username="theuser",
                               priv_key="/home/theuser/.sagenth/key",
                               local_root="/tmp/cache",
                               remote_root="/upload_target")
 >>> print fpack.manifest.files
 ["myfile.txt", "docs/readme.txt", "docs/2.py"]
 >>> file_info = fpack.manifest.get("myfile.txt")
 >>> file_info.size
 1246
 >>> file_info.sha256
 "d8d5d29645ce8552646ad236244304892bb9e0df633e2603a1fa616682e1c431"
 >>> file_info.type
"Python script, ASCII text executable"
 >> fh = fpack.open("myfile.txt")  # will be made available locally
