Aries

Aries is a Python package providing shortcuts to a wide range of small tasks like access files on the cloud, running background tasks, configuring logging, etc.

Aries includes:

• Storage sub-package, which provides a unified interface for accessing files on local computer, Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3 Storage. The storage interface includes shortcuts for listing, copying, deleting files/folder.
• Outputs(outputs.py) module for logging and capturing outputs.
• Task(tasks.py) module to manage asynchronous/background functions and commands.
• Google sub-package, providing simple API for accessing data in Google Drive and Google Sheets.
• String(string.py) module to provide enhanced String types, as well as FileName, Base64String.
• Excel(excel.py) module to create, read and modify Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
• Files(files.py) module to handle JSON, Markdown and temporary files with templates.
• Web(web.py) module to access web APIs and HTML pages.

Installation

Aries is developed with Python 3.7. You can install the full package with pip:

pip3 install Aries-Python

Alternatively, you can also install only the storage package using:

pip3 install Aries-storage

Usage

To use this package, import the module/sub-package from Aries

from Aries.tasks import ShellCommand

As an example, here is how to use Aries to write a pandas DataFrame to a CSV file on Google Cloud Storage:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([1, 3, 5])

uri = "gs://bucket_name/path/to/file.txt"

# Using StorageFile with pandas
with StorageFile.init(uri, 'w') as f:
    # f will be a file-like object
    df.to_csv(f)

See the documentation for sub-packages for more details.
