pymegatools 0.2.5

Python wrapper for the megatools cmdline utility.

PyMegatools - A WIP Python Wrapper for megatools

This is a WIP Python Library for the megatools command line utility

As of right now, you can use this library to download files from mega.nz

Installation

You can either install it from PyPi

pip install pymegatools

or traditionally with setup.py

python3 setup.py install

A quick example

This example shows how to use this wrapper to download any file from mega.nz

from pymegatools import Megatools

# Initialization
# By default the linux x86_64 binary is loaded
mega = Megatools()

# Or you can get the official megatools static binaries for your platform at https://megatools.megous.com/builds/experimental/
# And load it like this:
mega = Megatools(executable='path/to/megatools')

# Downloading a file from url
url = 'https://mega.nz/file/PpVB0CTZ#bwa51HbeKaVjuCff_lzbH4nQnV27uBxmcF89PnnACvY'
mega.download(url)

The output should look something like:

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 0.00% - 0 bytes of 8.5 MiB

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 0.49% - 42.7 KiB (43772 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (40.3 KiB/s)

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 8.58% - 748.7 KiB (766716 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (702.2 KiB/s)

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 28.83% - 2.5 MiB (2576900 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (1.7 MiB/s)

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 48.39% - 4.1 MiB (4324956 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (1.7 MiB/s)

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 66.76% - 5.7 MiB (5967112 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (1.6 MiB/s)

boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar: 85.73% - 7.3 MiB (7662924 bytes) of 8.5 MiB (1.6 MiB/s)

Downloaded boot_T295XXU2ASJ1.img.tar

Passing in a callback to redirect the output

from pymegatools import Megatools

# We define a callback function that accepts a subprocess Process as proc
def callback(proc):
    # We read the last line in the output stream of our megatools process
    output = proc.stdout.readline()
    # And finally we write it to a file instead of printing it to the console
    with open('output.txt', 'a+') as f:
        f.write(output.decode('utf-8', 'ignore' )) # The output stream is in bytes so we must decode it

# Now we pass in our callback function to Megatools
mega = Megatools(callback=callback)

# Downloading a file
mega.download('https://mega.nz/file/PpVB0CTZ#bwa51HbeKaVjuCff_lzbH4nQnV27uBxmcF89PnnACvY')

Now the output is written to output.txt

cat output.txt
