hcpsdk 0.9.4.post6

An SDK for the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)

HCPsdk
======

HCPsdk provides a simple SDK to access an Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)
from Python3. It handles name resolution, multiple sessions spread across all
available HCP nodes, persistent connections and recovery from failing
connections.

It's that easy:

::

>>> import hcpsdk

>>> # initialize an *Authorization* object
>>> auth = hcpsdk.NativeAuthorization('user', 'password')

>>> # initialize a *Target* object
>>> t = hcpsdk.Target("namespace.tenant.hcp.your.domain",
auth, port=443)

>>> # initialize a Connection to the `Target``
>>> c = hcpsdk.Connection(t)

>>> # do something with the connection...
>>> r = c.GET('/rest/your_file.txt')
>>> c.response_status, c.response_reason
(200, 'OK')
>>> r.read()
b'some data...'
>>>
>>> c.close()


Features
--------

- Handles HCP as a target object
- Connection objects, while tied to a target object, allow
access to HCP through HCPs native http/REST dialect
- Higher level modules provide easy access to namespace
statistics and some MAPI functionality, along with
the ability to create unique object names / paths

Dependencies
------------

**hcpsdk** depends on `dnspython <http://www.dnspython.org>`_, which is used
for non-cached name resolution when bypassing the system's resolver.
