System Requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Swift development currently targets Ubuntu Server 14.04, but should work on
|
|
most Linux platforms.
|
|
|
|
Swift is written in Python and has these dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* Python 2.7
|
|
* rsync 3.0
|
|
* The Python packages listed in `the requirements file <https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/requirements.txt>`_
|
|
* Testing additionally requires `the test dependencies <https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/test-requirements.txt>`_
|
|
|
|
There is no current support for Python 3.

There are many clients in the `ecosystem <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/associated_projects.html#application-bindings>`_. The official CLI
|
|
and SDK is python-swiftclient.
|
|
|
