PyHandle is a Python client library for interaction with a Handle System server, providing basic create, read, update and delete capabilities for Handles. The library offers both a client for the HTTP REST interface and a client that interacts directly with a Handle server SQL back-end.
PyHandle currently supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.5, and requires at least a Handle System server 8.1. The library requires OpenSSL v1.0.1 or higher.
PyHandle is based on a prior development of the EUDAT project under the name B2Handle. As B2Handle was developed with a specific scope - Handle operations in the EUDAT project - in mind, it has been improved and made more generic to cater to a broader audience. PyHandle will soon be available on PyPi.
You can install the PyHandle library as follows:
- host$ git clone https://github.com/EUDAT-B2SAFE/PYHANDLE.git
- host$ cd PYHANDLE/
- host$ python setup.py install
As soon as the library is available on PyPi, you can install it via pip:
- host$ pip install pyhandle
