**resync** is a ResourceSync client and library in python. `ResourceSync
<http://www.openarchives.org/rs/>`_ is a synchronization framework for
the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third party
systems to remain synchronized with a server's evolving resources.
The capabilities can be combined in a modular manner to meet local
or community requirements.
Client usage
------------
Typical client usage to synchronize from a source at
``http://source.example.com/`` to a set of local files would be::
resync.py http://source.example.com/
which will create or update a local directory ``./source.example.com``.
Alternatively, the destination directory may be specified explicitly::
resync.py http://source.example.com/ /tmp/my_copy
Option details and a number of different modes are described with::
resync.py -h
Library usage
-------------
Typical library use in a source (create and output a Resource List)::
from resync import Resource,ResourceList
rl = ResourceList()
rl.add( Resource('http://example.com/res1', lastmod='2013-01-01') )
rl.add( Resource('http://example.com/res2', lastmod='2013-01-02') )
print rl.as_xml()
Typical library use in a destination (get and examine a Capability List)::
from resync import CapabilityList
# Read Capability List and show supported capabilities
cl = CapabilityList()
cl.read("https://raw.github.com/resync/resync/1.0/resync/test/testdata/examples_from_spec/resourcesync_ex_2_6.xml")
for resource in cl:
print "supports %s (at %s)" % (resource.capability,resource.uri)
Installation
------------
The client and library are designed to work with Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
**Automatic installation**::
pip install resync
rsync is listed in `PyPI
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/resync>`_ and can be installed with
``pip`` or ``easy_install``.
**Manual installation from github**::
cd /tmp
git clone git://github.com/resync/resync.git
cd resync/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
This will install the library code in the appropriate place within
your python setup, and the client ``resync.py`` in an appropriate system
path (perhaps ``/usr/local/bin`` or ``/usr/bin`` depending on your system).
The source code is maintained on `Github
<https://github.com/resync/resync>`_
and there may be branches/versions available there that are not
yet packaged for PyPI.
