Package upathlib
Project description
upathlib
This package defines some APIs for working with a cloud blob store (or object store). The intended usage is that a client package for a blob store can be built on top of these APIs by inheriting from the classes defined here.
The APIs are intentionally similar to the corresponding APIs of the standard pathlib where appropriate.
Attention is focused on identifying the most essential functionalities
while working with a blob store for data processing.
Functionalities that are non-essential in these tasks are ignored,
such as symbolic links, fine-grained permissions, and various access modes.
(This API does not require or provide for these considerations, but a subclass may still add them if desired and feasible.)
Local (POSIX) filesystem is treated as one particular case,
and is implemented by LocalUpath.
This class showcases the most essential methods
that a subclass needs to implement.

What's the 'u' in the name?
It stands for "universal". Hey, it's just a name.
