Lightweight S3 utility class with pathlib-style API

Project description

s3pathx

A lightweight, Pythonic S3 utility class with a pathlib-style API for effortless S3 file operations — upload, download, rename, list, delete — and temporary local caching with context manager support.

🚀 Features

  • ✅ Pathlib-style method names: ls, unlink_all, mv_to_s3, open, rename
  • ✅ Context Manager support — auto-cleans local cache directory
  • ✅ Read S3 objects directly as text or bytes: read_text() / read_bytes()
  • ✅ Easily integrates with S3-compatible storage: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, etc.
  • ✅ Clean, minimal design suitable for data pipelines and tools

✅ Currently tested and verified with Cloudflare R2 📌 MinIO testing is planned in upcoming versions

📦 Installation

pip install s3pathx

🔧 Quick Example

from s3pathx import S3Path

with S3Path(
    bucket_name="your-bucket",
    prefix="tmp/",
    access_key="your-access-key",
    secret_key="your-secret-key",
    endpoint_url="https://your-s3-compatible-endpoint"
) as s3:
    # Upload a local file to S3
    s3.mv_to_s3("local.txt")

    # Read text content directly from S3
    content = s3.read_text("local.txt")
    print(content)

    # Rename a file in S3
    s3.rename("local.txt", "renamed.txt")

    # Download S3 file locally and access via Path
    path = s3.open("renamed.txt")
    print(path.read_text())

    # Delete all `.txt` files in the S3 prefix
    s3.unlink_all([".txt"])
