Overview

Store factory for simplekv

A factory for simplekv-Store-based storage classes. Takes configuration values and returns a simplekv-Store.

This allows one to easily deploy a blob-based store in production, but test with a filesystem-based store in development. The following simplekv-Stores are supported in storefact:

• DictStore
• RedisStore
• FilesystemStore
• BotoStore (Amazon S3)
• AzureBlockBlobStorage

Storefact is released as open source under the 3-clause BSD license.

Installation

pip install storefact

Usage

There are two possibilities to use storefact.

1. Use a dictionary with configuration data (e.g. loaded from an ini file)

from storefact import get_store

params = {
    'account_name': 'test',
    'account_key': 'XXXsome_azure_account_keyXXX',
    'container': 'my-azure-container',
}
store = get_store('azure', **params)
store.put(u'key', b'value')
assert store.get(u'key') == b'value'

2. Use an URL to specify the configuration

from storefact import get_store_from_url, get_store

store = get_store_from_url('azure://test:XXXsome_azure_account_keyXXX@my-azure-container')
store.put(u'key', b'value')
assert store.get(u'key') == b'value'

URL and store types:

• In memory: memory:// and hmemory://.
• Redis: redis://[[password@]host[:port]][/db] and hredis://[[password@]host[:port]][/db]
• Filesystem: fs:// and hfs://
• Amazon S3: s3://access_key:secret_key@endpoint/bucket[?create_if_missing=true] and hs3://access_key:secret_key@endpoint/bucket[?create_if_missing=true]

• Azure Blob Storage (azure:// and hazure://):

  • with storage account key: azure://account_name:account_key@container[?create_if_missing=true][?max_connections=2]
  • with SAS token: azure://account_name:shared_access_signature@container?use_sas&create_if_missing=false[?max_connections=2&socket_timeout=(20,100)]
  • with SAS and additional parameters: azure://account_name:shared_access_signature@container?use_sas&create_if_missing=false[?max_connections=2&socket_timeout=(20,100)][?max_block_size=4*1024*1024&max_single_put_size=64*1024*1024]

Storage URLs starting with a h indicate extended allowed characters. This allows the usage of slashes and spaces in blob names. URL options with [] are optional and the [] need to be removed.
