libs3 0.1

This is python implementation for for interacting with s3, with familier syntax

libs3

The purpose of this repo is to provide an easy to use interface to s3 for python developers, the code 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

Function	Availaible	Comments
os.listdir(x)	yes	As s3 has no notion of directories, in order to list directories along with files we have to traverse entire bucket and filter the results. For more quick results you can use os.listdir(x, filesonly=True) is much fast but will only returns files and not directory
os.mkdir(x)	no	As s3 has no concept of directory, we cannot create an empty directory
os.makedirs(x)	no	As s3 has no concept of directory, we cannot create an empty directory
os.remove(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.removedirs(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.rmdir(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.rename(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.renames(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.replace(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.scandir(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.walk(x)	no	will be added in later releases

os.path

Function	Availaible	Comments
os.path.basename(x)	yes
os.path.commonpath(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.path.commonprefix(x)	no	will be added in later releases
os.path.dirname(x)	yes
os.path.exists(x)	yes
os.path.isfile(x)	yes
os.path.isdir(x)	yes
os.path.join(x)	no	will be added in later releases

shutil

Function	Availaible	Comments
shutil.copyfile	no	will be added in later releases
shutil.copy	no	will be added in later releases
shutil.copytree	no	will be added in later releases
shutil.rmtree	no	will be added in later releases
shutil.move	no	will be added in later releases
shutil.disk_usage	no	will be added in later releases

Example

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'))
