ammcpc --- Archivematica (AM) MediaConch (MC) Policy Checker (PC)

This command-line application and python module is a simple wrapper around the MediaConch tool which takes a file and a MediaConch policy file as input and prints to stdout a JSON object indicating, in a way that Archivematica likes, whether the file passes the policy check.

Install with Pip:

$ pip install ammcpc

Install from source:

$ python setup.py install

Command-line usage:

$ ammcpc <PATH_TO_FILE> <PATH_TO_POLICY>

Python usage with a policy file path:

>>> from ammcpc import MediaConchPolicyCheckerCommand
>>> policy_checker = MediaConchPolicyCheckerCommand(
        policy_file_path='/path/to/my-policy.xml')
>>> exitcode = policy_checker.check('/path/to/file.mkv')

Python usage with a policy as a string:

>>> policy_checker = MediaConchPolicyCheckerCommand(
        policy='<?xml><policy> ... </policy>',
        policy_file_name='my-policy.xml')
>>> exitcode = policy_checker.check('/path/to/file.mkv')

System dependencies:

• MediaConch version 16.12
