First, thank you for developing and maintaining this package, I find it very helpful.
Second, I wanted to propose a new feature, which I personally find very useful (e.g. I am planning to use it for creating a simplified configuration management tool):
possibility to download a particular file revision by its id.
I have a code snipped that worked for me (based on GetContentFile function), but It has many shortcuts and potential flaws, therefore, I don't think it is good idea to create a PR with this code. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience working with the GDrive API to fix it myself.
@LoadAuth
def _GetContentRevision(
file,
rev_id,
filename,
chunksize=DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE,
):
revisions = file.auth.service.revisions()
file_id = file.metadata.get("id") or file.get("id")
if not file_id:
raise ValueError('No ID')
def _download(fd, request):
downloader = MediaIoBaseDownload(
fd, file._WrapRequest(request), chunksize=chunksize
)
done = False
while done is False:
status, done = downloader.next_chunk()
with open(filename, mode="w+b") as fd:
rev = revisions.get(fileId=file_id, revisionId=rev_id)
revision_metadata = rev.execute()
rev.uri = revision_metadata["downloadUrl"]
_download(fd, rev)
Hello PyDrive2 team,

.I have a code snipped that worked for me (based on
GetContentFile
function), but It has many shortcuts and potential flaws, therefore, I don't think it is good idea to create a PR with this code. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience working with the GDrive API to fix it myself.Hope you will find this feature useful as well.
