pip install .

How to use 💡

All functionally of this wrapper is accessible through rclone. The following example checks if rclone is installed.

from rclone_python import rclone

print(rclone.is_installed())
True

Create new remote

Create a new rclone remote connection with rclone's default client-id and client-secret.

from rclone_python import rclone
from rclone_python.remote_types import RemoteTypes

rclone.create_remote('onedrive', RemoteTypes.onedrive)

Additionally, client-id and client-secret can be used with many cloud providers.

from rclone_python import rclone
from rclone_python.remote_types import RemoteTypes

rclone.create_remote('onedrive', RemoteTypes.onedrive, client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID', client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET')

Copy

from rclone_python import rclone

# copy all file in the test_dir on OneDrive to the local data folder.
rclone.copy('onedrive:data', 'data', ignore_existing=True, args=['--create-empty-src-dirs'])

Delete

Delete a file or a directory. When deleting a directory, only the files in the directory (and all it's subdirectories) are deleted, but the folders remain.

from rclone_python import rclone

# delete a specific file on onedrive
rclone.delete('onedrive:data/video1.mp4')

Prune

from rclone_python import rclone

# remove the entire test_dir folder (and all files contained in it and it's subdirectories) on onedrive
rclone.purge('onedrive:test_dir')

Get Hash

from rclone_python import rclone
from rclone_python.hash_types import HashTypes

print(rclone.hash(HashTypes.sha1, "box:data")
{'video1.webm': '3ef08d895f25e8b7d84d3a1ac58f8f302e33058b', 'video3.webm': '3ef08d895f25e8b7d84d3a1ac58f8f302e33058b', 'video2.webm': '3ef08d895f25e8b7d84d3a1ac58f8f302e33058b'}
