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.
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
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)
