GPT Image

Create GUID Partition Table disk images on local disks. Written in pure Python gpt-image allows GPT disk images to be built on a local filesystem and exported to a destination device.

This is useful for creating a disk image on SD Cards or embedded devices.

Quick Start

import gpt_image, uuid

# create a new, 8 MB disk, size is in bytes
disk = gpt_image.disk.Disk("disk-image.raw")
disk.create(8 * 1024 * 1024)

# create a 2MB Linux partition named "partition1"
partition = gpt_image.partition.Partition("partition1", 2 * 1024 * 1024, Partition.LINUX_FILE_SYSTEM)

# add the partition to disk
disk.table.partitions.add(partition)
disk.write()
