pyclowder 3.0.8

Python SDK for the Clowder Data Management System

This package provides standard functions for interacting with the Clowder open source data management system. Clowder is designed to allow researchers to build customized catalogs in the clouds to help you manage research data.

One of the most interesting aspects of Clowder is the ability to extract metadata from any file. This ability is created using extractors. To make it easy to create these extractors in python we have created a module called clowder. Besides wrapping often used api calls in convenient python calls, we have also added some code to make it easy to create new extractors.
