httpio
HTTP resources as random-access file-like objects
httpio is a small Python library that allows you to access files served over HTTP as file-like objects (which is to say that they support the interface of the standard library’s BufferedIOBase class). It differs from libraries like urllib and requests in that it supports seek() (which moves an internal pointer), and that read() makes a request with the Range header set. It also supports caching of contents using a configurable block size, and will reuse TCP connections where possible.
Installation
Use pip to install httpio:
$ pip install httpioUsage
import zipfile
import httpio
url = "http://some/large/file.zip"
with httpio.open(url) as fp:
zf = zipfile.ZipFile(fp)
print(zf.namelist())Unit Tests
Unit tests are provided for the standard behaviours implemented by the library. They can be run with
$ python -m unittest discover -s testsor a tox.ini file is provided which allows the tests to be run in virtual environments using the tox tool:
$ tox1 maintainer
