Idiomatic access to digital objects in a Fedora Commons repository
Project description
EULfedora is a Python module that provides utilities, API wrappers, and classes for interacting with the Fedora-Commons Repository (version 3.4.x) in a pythonic, object-oriented way, with optional Django integration.
eulfedora.api provides complete access to the Fedora API, primarily making use of Fedora’s REST API. This low-level interface is wrapped by eulfedora.server.Repository and eulfedora.models.DigitalObject, which provide a more abstract, object-oriented, and Pythonic way of interacting with a Fedora Repository or with individual objects and datastreams.
When used with Django, eulfedora can pull the Repository connection configuration from Django settings, and provides a custom management command for loading simple content models and fixture objects to the configured repository.
Dependencies
eulfedora currently depends on eulxml, rdflib, python-dateutil, pycrypto, soaplib.
eulfedora can be used without Django, but additional functionality is available when used with Django.
