resync is a ResourceSync client and library in python. ResourceSync is a synchronization framework for the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third party systems to remain synchronized with a server's evolving resources. The capabilities can be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements.
Typical client usage to synchronize from a source at
http://source.example.com/
to a set of local files would be:
resync http://source.example.com/
which will create or update a local directory ./source.example.com
.
Alternatively, the destination directory may be specified explicitly:
resync http://source.example.com/ /tmp/my_copy
Option details and a number of different modes are described with:
resync -h
Typical library use in a source (create and output a Resource List):
from resync import Resource,ResourceList rl = ResourceList() rl.add( Resource('http://example.com/res1', lastmod='2013-01-01') ) rl.add( Resource('http://example.com/res2', lastmod='2013-01-02') ) print rl.as_xml()
Typical library use in a destination (get and examine a Capability List):
from resync import CapabilityList # Read Capability List and show supported capabilities cl = CapabilityList() cl.read("https://raw.github.com/resync/resync/1.0/resync/test/testdata/examples_from_spec/resourcesync_ex_2_6.xml") for resource in cl: print "supports %s (at %s)" % (resource.capability,resource.uri)
The client and library are designed to work with Python 2.6 or 2.7.
Automatic installation:
easy_install resync
rsync is listed in PyPI and can be installed with
pip
or easy_install
.
Manual installation from github:
cd /tmp git clone git://github.com/resync/resync.git cd resync/ python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install
This will install the library code in the appropriate place within
your python setup, and the client resync
in an appropriate system
path (perhaps /usr/local/bin
or /usr/bin
depending on your system).
The source code is maintained on Github and there may be branches/versions available there that are not yet packaged for PyPI.
