AFS - Agnostic File Storage
Goals and motivations
The purpose of this module is to offer an agnostic, easy-to-use module
for different file systems (At present time, just local and SMB/CIFS).
The initial use of this module was provide an easy path to translate
local file systems operations to a network samba server.
Example of use
So, you can translate code like this:
if os.path.isdir('/tmp/token.txt'):
if not os.path.isdir('/tmp/results'):
os.mkdir('/tmp/results')
with open('/tmp/results/data.txt', 'wb') as f:
f.write('This is an example\n')

To something like this (which must work identical):
with afs.connect('temp') as fs:
if not fs.isdir('results'):
fs.mkdir('results')
fs.cd('results')
fs.save('data.txt', 'This is an example\n')

Usually you need to iterate a list of directories checking
for the existence of the dir, create if needed, and then changing
to the dir, for every directory::
dirs = ['media', 'public', '2016', 'sep', '14']
with afs.connect('static') as fs:
for dir in dirs:
if not fs.is_dir(dir):
fs.mkdir(dir)
fs.cd(dir)
# You can save the file now

Using the set_path method make all this steps with one single call::
with afs.connect('static') as fs:
fs.set_path('media', 'public', '2016', 'sep', '14')
# You can save the file now

The entry temp is defined in a configuration file, using
a format similar to windows .INI files, like this:
[temp]
kind: local
base: /tmp

We can now switch to another directory by just replacing the
temp base entry to the desired base path, for example. More
interesting, you can change to a network SMB Server, modifying the
configuration file to:
[temp]
kind: smb
username: samba_user
password: samba_password
host: nas
domain: mycompany.com
service: test$

Things to do


Add more storage file systems: NFS, Amazon S3, SFTP


Improve security, nobody likes password stored as plain text
in configuration files.
