S3Map(root, s3[, check, create])

Mirror previous class, not implemented in fsspec

class s3fs.core.S3FileSystem(anon=False, key=None, secret=None, token=None, use_ssl=True, client_kwargs=None, requester_pays=False, default_block_size=None, default_fill_cache=True, default_cache_type='bytes', version_aware=False, config_kwargs=None, s3_additional_kwargs=None, session=None, username=None, password=None, asynchronous=False, loop=None, **kwargs)

Access S3 as if it were a file system.

This exposes a filesystem-like API (ls, cp, open, etc.) on top of S3 storage.

Provide credentials either explicitly (key=, secret=) or depend on boto’s credential methods. See botocore documentation for more information. If no credentials are available, use anon=True.

Parameters:

anon : bool (False)

Whether to use anonymous connection (public buckets only). If False, uses the key/secret given, or boto’s credential resolver (client_kwargs, environment, variables, config files, EC2 IAM server, in that order)

key : string (None)

If not anonymous, use this access key ID, if specified

secret : string (None)

If not anonymous, use this secret access key, if specified

token : string (None)

If not anonymous, use this security token, if specified

use_ssl : bool (True)

Whether to use SSL in connections to S3; may be faster without, but insecure. If use_ssl is also set in client_kwargs, the value set in client_kwargs will take priority.

s3_additional_kwargs : dict of parameters that are used when calling s3 api

methods. Typically used for things like “ServerSideEncryption”.

client_kwargs : dict of parameters for the botocore client

requester_pays : bool (False)

If RequesterPays buckets are supported.

default_block_size: int (None)

If given, the default block size value used for open(), if no specific value is given at all time. The built-in default is 5MB.

default_fill_cache : Bool (True)

Whether to use cache filling with open by default. Refer to S3File.open.

default_cache_type : string (‘bytes’)

If given, the default cache_type value used for open(). Set to “none” if no caching is desired. See fsspec’s documentation for other available cache_type values. Default cache_type is ‘bytes’.

version_aware : bool (False)

Whether to support bucket versioning. If enable this will require the user to have the necessary IAM permissions for dealing with versioned objects.

config_kwargs : dict of parameters passed to botocore.client.Config

kwargs : other parameters for core session

session : aiobotocore AioSession object to be used for all connections.

This session will be used inplace of creating a new session inside S3FileSystem. For example: aiobotocore.AioSession(profile=’test_user’)

The following parameters are passed on to fsspec:

skip_instance_cache: to control reuse of instances

use_listings_cache, listings_expiry_time, max_paths: to control reuse of directory listings

Examples

>>> s3 = S3FileSystem(anon=False)  # doctest: +SKIP
>>> s3.ls('my-bucket/')  # doctest: +SKIP
['my-file.txt']

>>> with s3.open('my-bucket/my-file.txt', mode='rb') as f:  # doctest: +SKIP

checksum(path, refresh=False)

Unique value for current version of file

If the checksum is the same from one moment to another, the contents are guaranteed to be the same. If the checksum changes, the contents might have changed.

Parameters:

path : string/bytes

path of file to get checksum for

refresh : bool (=False)

if False, look in local cache for file details first

chmod(path, acl, **kwargs)

Set Access Control on a bucket/key

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/acl-overview.html#canned-acl

Parameters:

path : string

the object to set

acl : string

the value of ACL to apply

connect(kwargs={})

Establish S3 connection object.

get_delegated_s3pars(exp=3600)

Get temporary credentials from STS, appropriate for sending across a network. Only relevant where the key/secret were explicitly provided.

Parameters:

exp : int

Time in seconds that credentials are good for

Returns:

dict of parameters

get_tags(path)

Retrieve tag key/values for the given path

Returns:

{str: str}

getxattr(path, attr_name, **kwargs)

Get an attribute from the metadata.

Examples

>>> mys3fs.getxattr('mykey', 'attribute_1')  # doctest: +SKIP
'value_1'

info(path, version_id=None, refresh=False)

Give details of entry at path

Returns a single dictionary, with exactly the same information as ls would with detail=True.

The default implementation should calls ls and could be overridden by a shortcut. kwargs are passed on to `ls().

Some file systems might not be able to measure the file’s size, in which case, the returned dict will include 'size': None.

Returns:

dict with keys: name (full path in the FS), size (in bytes), type (file,

directory, or something else) and other FS-specific keys.

invalidate_cache(path=None)

Discard any cached directory information

Parameters:

path: string or None

If None, clear all listings cached else listings at or under given path.

isdir(path)

Is this entry directory-like?

ls(path, detail=False, refresh=False, **kwargs)

List single “directory” with or without details

Parameters:

path : string/bytes

location at which to list files

detail : bool (=True)

if True, each list item is a dict of file properties; otherwise, returns list of filenames

refresh : bool (=False)

if False, look in local cache for file details first

kwargs : dict

additional arguments passed on

makedirs(path, exist_ok=False)

Recursively make directories

Creates directory at path and any intervening required directories. Raises exception if, for instance, the path already exists but is a file.

Parameters:

path: str

leaf directory name

exist_ok: bool (False)

If True, will error if the target already exists

merge(path, filelist, **kwargs)

Create single S3 file from list of S3 files

Uses multi-part, no data is downloaded. The original files are not deleted.

Parameters:

path : str

The final file to produce

filelist : list of str

The paths, in order, to assemble into the final file.

metadata(path, refresh=False, **kwargs)

Return metadata of path.

Metadata is cached unless refresh=True.

Parameters:

path : string/bytes

filename to get metadata for

refresh : bool (=False)

if False, look in local cache for file metadata first

modified(path, version_id=None, refresh=False)

Return the last modified timestamp of file at path as a datetime

put_tags(path, tags, mode='o')

Set tags for given existing key

Tags are a str:str mapping that can be attached to any key, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/allocation-tag-restrictions.html

This is similar to, but distinct from, key metadata, which is usually set at key creation time.

Parameters:

path: str

Existing key to attach tags to

tags: dict str, str

Tags to apply.

mode:

One of ‘o’ or ‘m’ ‘o’: Will over-write any existing tags. ‘m’: Will merge in new tags with existing tags. Incurs two remote calls.

rm(path, recursive=False, **kwargs)

Delete files.

Parameters:

path: str or list of str

File(s) to delete.

recursive: bool

If file(s) are directories, recursively delete contents and then also remove the directory

maxdepth: int or None

Depth to pass to walk for finding files to delete, if recursive. If None, there will be no limit and infinite recursion may be possible.

setxattr(path, copy_kwargs=None, **kw_args)

Set metadata.

Attributes have to be of the form documented in the `Metadata Reference`_.

Parameters:

kw_args : key-value pairs like field=”value”, where the values must be

strings. Does not alter existing fields, unless the field appears here - if the value is None, delete the field.

copy_kwargs : dict, optional

dictionary of additional params to use for the underlying s3.copy_object.

Examples

>>> mys3file.setxattr(attribute_1='value1', attribute_2='value2')  # doctest: +SKIP
# Example for use with copy_args
>>> mys3file.setxattr(copy_kwargs={'ContentType': 'application/pdf'},
...     attribute_1='value1')  # doctest: +SKIP

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingMetadata.html#object-metadata

sign(path, expiration=100, **kwargs)

Create a signed URL representing the given path

Some implementations allow temporary URLs to be generated, as a way of delegating credentials.

Parameters:

path : str

The path on the filesystem

expiration : int

Number of seconds to enable the URL for (if supported)

Returns:

URL : str

The signed URL

Raises:

NotImplementedError : if method is not implemented for a fileystem

split_path(path) → Tuple[str, str, Optional[str]]

Normalise S3 path string into bucket and key.

Parameters:

path : string

Input path, like s3://mybucket/path/to/file

Examples

>>> split_path("s3://mybucket/path/to/file")
['mybucket', 'path/to/file', None]

>>> split_path("s3://mybucket/path/to/versioned_file?versionId=some_version_id")
['mybucket', 'path/to/versioned_file', 'some_version_id']

touch(path, truncate=True, data=None, **kwargs)

Create empty file or truncate

url(path, expires=3600, **kwargs)

Generate presigned URL to access path by HTTP

Parameters:

path : string

the key path we are interested in

expires : int

the number of seconds this signature will be good for.

walk(path, maxdepth=None, **kwargs)

Return all files belows path

List all files, recursing into subdirectories; output is iterator-style, like os.walk(). For a simple list of files, find() is available.

Note that the “files” outputted will include anything that is not a directory, such as links.

Parameters:

path: str

Root to recurse into

maxdepth: int

Maximum recursion depth. None means limitless, but not recommended on link-based file-systems.

kwargs: passed to ``ls``

class s3fs.core.S3File(s3, path, mode='rb', block_size=5242880, acl='', version_id=None, fill_cache=True, s3_additional_kwargs=None, autocommit=True, cache_type='bytes', requester_pays=False)

Open S3 key as a file. Data is only loaded and cached on demand.

Parameters:

s3 : S3FileSystem

botocore connection

path : string

S3 bucket/key to access

mode : str

One of ‘rb’, ‘wb’, ‘ab’. These have the same meaning as they do for the built-in open function.

block_size : int

read-ahead size for finding delimiters

fill_cache : bool

If seeking to new a part of the file beyond the current buffer, with this True, the buffer will be filled between the sections to best support random access. When reading only a few specific chunks out of a file, performance may be better if False.

acl: str

Canned ACL to apply

version_id : str

Optional version to read the file at. If not specified this will default to the current version of the object. This is only used for reading.

requester_pays : bool (False)

If RequesterPays buckets are supported.
