pyBiocFileCache 0.0.1

Python implementation of the BiocFileCache mechanism

pyBiocFileCache

An attempt at implementing a Python version of the BiocFileCache R package

Note: Package is in development. Use with caution!!

Description

Installation

Note: Package is not on PyPI yet.

pip install git+https://github.com/epiviz/pyBiocFileCache

Create a cache directory

from pybiocfilecache import BiocFileCache
import os

bfc = BiocFileCache(cache_dir = os.getcwd() + "/cache")

Once the cache directory is created, the library allows

• Create a resource - add
• Get a resource from cache - get
• Remove a resource - remove
• update a resource - update
• purge the entire cache - purge

Add a resource to cache

(for testing use the temp files in the tests/data directory)

rec = bfc.add("test1", os.getcwd() + "/test1.txt")
print(rec)

Get resource from cache

rec = bfc.get("test1")
print(rec)

Remove resource from cache

rec = bfc.remove("test1")
print(rec)

Update resource in cache

rec = bfc.get("test1"m os.getcwd() + "test2.txt")
print(rec)

purge the cache

bfc.purge()
