Previously, we compared the ETag from Swift against the MD5 of the entire large object. However, the ETag for large objects is generally the MD5 of the concatenation of the ETags for each segment, unless the object is a DLO whose segments span more than one page of a container listing. Rather than worry about ETags, just compare each chunk of the segmented file. This allows the use of --skip-identical when uploading SLOs and DLOs. Additionally, there are several test-related improvements: * The default arguments for OutputManager are now evaluated on construction, rather than on definition, so that TestOutputManager.test_instantiation will succeed when using nosetest as a test runner. (See also: bug 1251507) * An account_username option is now available in the functional tests config file for auth systems that do not follow the account:username format. * CaptureOutput no longer writes to the captured stream, and MockHttpTest now captures output. These were polluting test output unnecessarily. (See also: bug 1201376) Change-Id: Ic484e9a0c186c9283c4012c6a2fa77b96b8edf8a Closes-Bug: #1201376 Closes-Bug: #1379252 Related-Bug: #1251507
Python bindings to the OpenStack Object Storage API
This is a python client for the Swift API. There's a Python API (the
swiftclient module), and a command-line script
(swift).
You can find the documentation online.
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the OpenStack wiki. The master repository is on GitHub.
This code is based on original the client previously included with OpenStack's swift The python-swiftclient is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.
