DEPOT - File Storage Made Easy

DEPOT is a framework for easily storing and serving files in web applications on Python2.6+ and Python3.2+.

Installing

Installing DEPOT can be done from PyPi itself by installing the filedepot distribution:

$ pip install filedepot

Getting Started

To start using Depot refer to Documentation

DEPOT was presented at PyConUK and PyConFR in 2014

Here is a simple example of using depot standalone to store files on MongoDB:

from depot.manager import DepotManager

# Configure a *default* depot to store files on MongoDB GridFS
DepotManager.configure('default', {
    'depot.backend': 'depot.io.gridfs.GridFSStorage',
    'depot.mongouri': 'mongodb://localhost/db'
})

depot = DepotManager.get()

# Save the file and get the fileid
fileid = depot.create(open('/tmp/file.png'))

# Get the file back
stored_file = depot.get(fileid)
print stored_file.filename
print stored_file.content_type
