There is a 3rd Party library that was given to us.  We will be distributing it shortly.

Could you provide an estimate date for the Python API? We would like to try Nirvanix if a Python module is made available.

Thanks
 

 We will have a simplified interface ready soon.  Our third party developer was unable to provide the API but we have been working on a simple wrapper that will cover all of the services.

    Barry R.
 

How is this shaping up? 

 I have the entire API wrapped and working with approximately 40% unit test coverage.  The only piece that is left is the upload which is at about 70% completion.  I will try to get more of this done when possible.

Do you know how compatible the nirvanix-python library on the code.google.com site is with the current API?

 I'm not sure but after looking at the SVN repository for this project I don't see any files.  It looks like they are not finished with the 1.0 release yet other than a simple setup script.  I will do my best to get a new release this weekend.  I'm in the process of updating all of our SDKs for the latest release.

 Barry,

I kind of missed it the first time I looked at the trunk as well but you have to click on the "src" link and then the "nirvanix" link after you click on the trunk.

There are 5 files there. 

 I had some wierdness with tortoiseSVN when using the Repo-browser.  Using the website interface everything is visible.  I don't see any reason it couldn't be used with the App Engine but I'm sure they haven't tested it yet.  I will make sure our in-house SDK works correctly with the Google App Engine since it seems like such a great tool.

   Barry R.
 

 After reviewing the App Engine API document I found:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/urlfetch/fetchfunction.html

This would have to replace the transport pieces used in the existing SDK.  This should be trivial and accomplish a similar result.  Potentially this could be used to upload files as well via the POST since you can define the headers.  I would imagine an App Engine version of the SDK could be developed very quickly and easily.  I will let you know my progress.

Barry,

 I think you were posting in the wrong thread. I was talking about the nirvanix-python library that is hosted at code.google.com not how Nirvanix will interface with Google App Engine. Although, I am very interested in this as well, but the code I was talking about is located at http://code.google.com/p/nirvanix-python/source/browse/trunk/src/nirvanix/rest.py.

 

My appologies, I mixed the two subjects, I am not sure how maintained this external code is but you could take a look.  The methodology we will be using is to reflect the API Interface and dynamically build classes to handle any future updates of the web services as well.
