ibm-cos-sdk 1.0.0

IBM SDK for Python

This package allows Python developers to write software that interacts with IBM Cloud Object Storage. It is based on boto3 and can stand as a drop-in replacement.

Quick Start

First, install the library and set a default region:

$ pip install ibm-cos-sdk

Next, set up credentials (in e.g. ~/.aws/credentials):

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET

Then, set up a default region (in e.g. ~/.aws/config):

[default]
region=us-geo

Then, from a Python interpreter:

>>> import ibm-cos-sdk
>>> cos = boto3.resource('s3')
>>> for bucket in cos.buckets.all():
        print(bucket.name)

Development

Getting Started

$ virtualenv venv
...
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
