python-nexus

A nexus client in Python. Use it to add the ability to download jar, war or pom files from a nexus repo, typically before deploying to tomcat or another container. Works great with Fabric.

See the included example_script.py for a sample usage.

First, import, initialize and configure the library (assuming it does not require authentication):

>>> from nexus_client.nexus import Nexus
>>> client = Nexus("https://your.nexus.url/path")

There is only one exposed method, get_artifact. It takes arguments specifying the Nexus co-ordinates:

• group id
• artifact id
• version (defaults to LATEST)

As well as a couple other things:

• repository name (such as snapshots, releasesor whatever your Nexus configuration is)
• public or private repository? (defaults to public, pass in public=False to use private
• packaging (defaults to jar)

So for example:

client.get_artifact(
    group_id="org.apache.ant",
    artifact_id="ant",
    packaging="jar",
    version="LATEST",
    repository="releases")

Finally, sample usage of the example script:

./example_script.py -r releases -g org.apache.ant -a ant -v LATEST -s https://repository.apache.org
