Python iRODS Client (PRC)

iRODS is an open-source distributed data management system. This is a client API implemented in python.

This project should be considered pre-alpha. Here's what works:

  • Establish a connection to iRODS, authenticate
  • Implement basic Gen Queries (select columns and filtering)
  • Support more advanced Gen Queries with limits, offsets, and aggregations
  • Query the collections and data objects within a collection
  • Support read, write, and seek operations for files
  • Delete data objects
  • Create collections
  • Delete collections
  • Rename data objects
  • Rename collections
  • Query metadata for collections and data objects
  • Add, edit, remove metadata
  • Replicate data objects to different resource servers
  • Connection pool management
  • Implement gen query result sets as lazy queries
  • Return empty result sets when CAT_NO_ROWS_FOUND is raised
  • Manage permissions
  • Manage users and groups
  • Manage zones
  • Manage resources
  • GSI authentication
  • Python 3 support

Installation

PRC requires Python 2.7. Installation with pip is easy!

pip install git+git://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient.git 

Establishing a connection

>>> from irods.session import iRODSSession >>> sess = iRODSSession(host='localhost', port=1247, user='rods', password='rods', zone='tempZone')

If you're an administrator acting on behalf of another user:

>>> from irods.session import iRODSSession >>> sess = iRODSSession(host='localhost', port=1247, user='rods', password='rods', zone='tempZone', client_user='another_user', client_zone='another_zone')

If no client_zone is provided, the zone parameter is used in its place.

Working with collections

>>> coll = sess.collections.get("/tempZone/home/rods") >>> coll.id 45798 >>> coll.path /tempZone/home/rods >>> for col in coll.subcollections: >>> print col <iRODSCollection /tempZone/home/rods/subcol1> <iRODSCollection /tempZone/home/rods/subcol2> >>> for obj in coll.data_objects: >>> print obj <iRODSDataObject /tempZone/home/rods/file.txt> <iRODSDataObject /tempZone/home/rods/file2.txt>

Create a new collection:

>>> coll = sess.collections.create("/tempZone/home/rods/testdir") >>> coll.id 45799

Working with data objects (files)

Create a new data object:

>>> obj = sess.data_objects.create("/tempZone/home/rods/test1") <iRODSDataObject /tempZone/home/rods/test1>

Get an existing data object:

>>> obj = sess.data_objects.get("/tempZone/home/rods/test1") >>> obj.id 12345 >>> obj.name test1 >>> obj.collection <iRODSCollection /tempZone/home/rods> >>> for replica in obj.replicas: ... print replica.resource_name ... print replica.number ... print replica.path ... print replica.status ... demoResc 0 /var/lib/irods/Vault/home/rods/test1 1

Reading and writing files

PRC provides file-like objects for reading and writing files

>>> obj = sess.data_objects.get("/tempZone/home/rods/test1") >>> with obj.open('r+') as f: ... f.write('foo\nbar\n') ... f.seek(0,0) ... for line in f: ... print line ... foo bar

Working with metadata

>>> obj = sess.data_objects.get("/tempZone/home/rods/test1") >>> print obj.metadata.items() [] >>> obj.metadata.add('key1', 'value1', 'units1') >>> obj.metadata.add('key1', 'value2') >>> obj.metadata.add('key2', 'value3') >>> print obj.metadata.items() [<iRODSMeta (key1, value1, units1, 10014)>, <iRODSMeta (key2, value3, None, 10017)>, <iRODSMeta (key1, value2, None, 10020)>] >>> print obj.metadata.get_all('key1') [<iRODSMeta (key1, value1, units1, 10014)>, <iRODSMeta (key1, value2, None, 10020)>] >>> print obj.metadata.get_one('key2') <iRODSMeta (key2, value3, None, 10017)> >>> obj.metadata.remove('key1', 'value1', 'units1') >>> print obj.metadata.items() [<iRODSMeta (key2, value3, None, 10017)>, <iRODSMeta (key1, value2, None, 10020)>]

Performing general queries

>>> from irods.session import iRODSSession >>> from irods.models import Collection, User, DataObject >>> sess = iRODSSession(host='localhost', port=1247, user='rods', password='rods', zone='tempZone') >>> results = sess.query(DataObject.id, DataObject.name, DataObject.size, \ User.id, User.name, Collection.name).all() >>> print results +---------+-----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+-----------+ | USER_ID | USER_NAME | D_DATA_ID | DATA_NAME | COLL_NAME | DATA_SIZE | +---------+-----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+-----------+ | 10007 | rods | 10012 | runDoxygen.rb | /tempZone/home/rods | 5890 | | 10007 | rods | 10146 | test1 | /tempZone/home/rods | 0 | | 10007 | rods | 10147 | test2 | /tempZone/home/rods | 0 | | 10007 | rods | 10148 | test3 | /tempZone/home/rods | 8 | | 10007 | rods | 10153 | test5 | /tempZone/home/rods | 0 | | 10007 | rods | 10154 | test6 | /tempZone/home/rods | 8 | | 10007 | rods | 10049 | .gitignore | /tempZone/home/rods/pycommands | 12 | | 10007 | rods | 10054 | README.md | /tempZone/home/rods/pycommands | 3795 | | 10007 | rods | 10052 | coll_test.py | /tempZone/home/rods/pycommands | 658 | | 10007 | rods | 10014 | file_test.py | /tempZone/home/rods/pycommands | 465 | +---------+-----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+-----------+

Query with aggregation(min, max, sum, avg, count):

>>> results = sess.query(DataObject.owner_name).count(DataObject.id).sum(DataObject.size).all() >>> print results +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | D_OWNER_NAME | D_DATA_ID | DATA_SIZE | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | rods | 10 | 10836 | +--------------+-----------+-----------+
