Python bindings for XRootD

Note

XRootD Python bindings have been integrated into the core XRootD project (please have a look at: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/tree/master/bindings/python). This reposityry is now deprecated.

Requirements

• Python 2.4 or later
  • Works on Python 2.4 -> 2.7
  • Python 3 not yet supported (coming soon)
• New XRootD <http://xrootd.org/dload.html>_ client + development headers
  • xrootd-client, xrootd-client-devel packages
  • Version 3.3.3 or above required

RPM Installation

If you just want to install via RPM, we build one incrementally using TeamCity. You can get it here <https://teamcity-dss.cern.ch:8443/guestLogin.html?guest=1>_. Once you've done that, you're done - you don't need to follow any of the rest of the instructions here.

Getting the source

Clone the repository::

$ git clone git://github.com/xrootd/xrootd-python.git

Installation

If you have obtained a copy of pyxrootd yourself use the setup.py script to install.

To install in your home directory <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/>_::

$ python setup.py install --user

To install system-wide (requires root privileges)::

$ sudo python setup.py install

Post-installation

If you installed pyxrootd into your home directory with the --user option above, add ${HOME}/.local/bin to your ${PATH} if it is not there already (put this in your .bashrc)::

$ export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin${PATH:+:$PATH}

.. Running the tests

Testing requires the pytest <https://pytest.org/latest/>_ package. Once pyxrootd is installed, it may be tested (from inside the source directory) by running::

$ py.test
