libs3

The purpose of this repo is to provide an easy to use interface to s3 for python developers, the core python libraries like os, shutil are easy to use and more familier to any python programmer.

The repo aims to mimic the functionality so that your code will interact with s3 in same way as it is interacting in linux or windows filesystem, with 1 or 2 line change

Installation

pip install libs3

Documentation

A list of functions have been exposed which are working as of now and more will be added later (contributions are welcome)

os

os.path

shutil

Example

os - importing the module and authorizing using s3 credentials

from libs3 import os
os.authorize(bucket, aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)

After authorizing access the interface like normally accessing filesystem

print(os.listdir("/dir_1/dir_1"))
print(os.listdir("/dir_1/dir_1", filesonly=True))   # Much quicker

print(os.path.exists('/dir_1/file_2'))
print(os.path.isfile('/dir_1/file_2'))
print(os.path.isdir('/dir_1/file_2'))
print(os.path.basename('/dir_1/file_2'))
print(os.path.dirname('/dir_1/file_2'))

os.remove('/dir_2/file_ks')

shutil - importing the module and authorizing using s3 credentials

from libs3 import shutil
shutil.authorize(bucket, aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)

After authorizing access the interface like normally accessing filesystem

# Copying file
shutil.copy("/dir_2/file_1", "/dir_2/file_1_cp")         # Copy within s3
shutil.copy("/dir_2/file_1", "localfile", download=True) # Copy from s3 to local
shutil.copy("localfile", "/dir_2/filename", upload=True) # Copy from local to s3

shutil.copyfile("/dir_2/file_1", "/dir_2/file_ks")       # Copy within s3

# Removing
shutil.rmtree('/dir_2/cold')

# Moving
shutil.move('/dir_2/file_1_cp', '/dir_2/file_1_moved')
shutil.move('file_1_cp', '/dir_2/file_1_moved', upload=True) # Moving file from local to s3
