aioEasyWebDAV: A WebDAV Client for asyncio

This project started as a port of the requests-based EasyWebDAV ( http://github.com/amnong/easywebdav ) to asyncio on Python 3.5. It has since been extended with additional features.

Features

• Basic authentication
• Creating directories, removing directories and files
• Uploading and downloading files
• Directory listing
• Support for client side SSL certificates
• Fragmented download (multiple chunks in simultaneous streams)
• MD5 checksum validation when used with OwnCloud/Nextcloud webdav
• Progress tracking/reporting via callback system

Installation

Install using distribute:

pip install aioeasywebdav

Quick Start

import aioeasywebdav
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

# Start off by creating a client object. Username and
# password may be omitted if no authentication is needed.
webdav = aioeasywebdav.connect('webdav.your-domain.com', username='myuser', password='mypass')

# Do some stuff:
loop.run_until_complete(webdav.mkdir('some_dir'))
loop.run_until_complete(webdav.rmdir('another_dir'))

async def fn():
    await webdav.download('/remote/path/to/file', '/local/target/file')
    await webdav.upload('/local/path/to/file', '/remote/target/file')
loop.run_until_complete(fn())

Client object API

The API is pretty much self-explanatory:

cd(path)
ls(path=None)
exists(remote_path)
mkdir(path, safe=False)
mkdirs(path)
rmdir(path, safe=False)
delete(file_path)
upload(local_path_or_fileobj, remote_path)
download(remote_path, local_path)

Using clientside SSL certificate

webdav = aioeasywebdav.connect('secure.example.net',
                               username='user',
                               password='pass',
                               protocol='https',
                               cert="/path/to/your/certificate.pem")
# Do some stuff:
print(await webdav.ls())

Please note that all options and restriction regarding the "cert" parameter from Requests API apply here as the parameter is only passed through!

Developing aioEasyWebDAV

Working with a virtual environment is highly recommended:

virtualenv --no-site-packages aioeasywebdav_dev
source aioeasywebdav_dev/bin/activate

Installing the library in development-mode:

EASYWEBDAV_DEV=1 python setup.py develop

The first part of the command causes setup.py to install development dependencies, in addition to the normal dependencies.

Running the tests:

nosetests --with-yanc --nologcapture --nocapture tests

Running the tests with WebDAV server logs:

WEBDAV_LOGS=1 nosetests --with-yanc --nologcapture --nocapture -v tests
