Common object storage frontend.

Project description

Common object storage frontend that supports dictionary-style access, object serialization and compression, and multiple storage and caching backends.

Currently supported storage backends are:

  • Amazon S3 Web Service

  • Apache Cassandra

  • Berkeley Source Database

  • DBM

  • Durus

  • FTP

  • Filesystem

  • Firebird

  • git

  • HDF5

  • LevelDB

  • Memory

  • Mercurial

  • Microsoft SQL Server

  • MongoDB

  • MySQL

  • Oracle

  • PostgreSQL

  • Redis

  • SQLite

  • Subversion

  • Zope Object Database (ZODB)

Currently supported caching backends are:

  • Filesystem

  • Firebird

  • Memory

  • Microsoft SQL Server

  • MySQL

  • Oracle

  • PostgreSQL

  • Redis

  • SQLite

  • memcache

The simplest shove use case is:

>>> from shove import Shove
>>> store = Shove()

which creates an in-memory store and cache.

The use of other backends for storage and caching involves passing an module URI or existing store or cache instance to shove following the form:

>>> from shove import Shove
>>> <storename> = Shove(<store_uri>, <cache_uri>)

Each module-specific URI form is documented in its module. The URI form follows the URI form used by SQLAlchemy:

http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/engines.html

shove fully implements the Python dictionary/mapping API:
