Bagit Profile (validator)

A simple Python module for validating BagIt profiles. See the BagIt Profiles Specification (draft) for more information.

This module is intended for use with bagit but does not extend it.

bagit_profile.py is a single-file python module that you can drop into your project as needed or you can install globally with:

or:

pip install bagit_profile

import bagit
import bagit_profile

Instantiate an existing Bag using bagit.

bag = bagit.Bag('mydir')

Instantiate a profile, supplying its URI.

my_profile = bagit_profile.Profile('http://example.com/bagitprofile.json')

Validate 'Serialization' and 'Accept-Serialization'. This must be done before .validate(bag) is called. 'mydir' is the path to the Bag.

if my_profile.validate_serialization('mydir'):
    print "Serialization validates"
else:
    print "Serialization does not validate"

Validate the rest of the profile.

if my_profile.validate(bag):
    print "Validates"
else:
    print "Does not validate"

Or from the commandline:

bagit_profile.py 'http://uri.for.profile/profile.json' path/to/bag

python setup.py test
