py-ipfs
Python implementation of IPFS, the InterPlanetary File System. Not even remotely done yet - check out #1 to join the project.
IPFS is a distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. In some ways, this is similar to the original aims of the Web, but IPFS is actually more similar to a single bittorrent swarm exchanging git objects.
IPFS could become a new major subsystem of the internet. If built right, it could complement or replace HTTP. It could complement or replace even more. It sounds crazy. It is crazy.
Take a look at the main repo.
Organization
This repository contains the Python package ipfs, which contains the subpackages block, merkledag, naming, and routing, which function as laid out in the main IPFS repo.
The repo roughly looks like this:
ipfs ├─ block ├─ merkledag ├─ naming ├─ network └─ routing
