How to install
You can install PyDrive2 with regular pip command.
$ pip install PyDrive2
To install the current development version from GitHub, use:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/iterative/PyDrive2.git#egg=PyDrive2
OAuth made easy
Download client_secrets.json from Google API Console and OAuth2.0 is done in two lines. You can customize behavior of OAuth2 in one settings file settings.yaml.
from pydrive2.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive2.drive import GoogleDrive
gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)File management made easy
Upload/update the file with one method. PyDrive2 will do it in the most efficient way.
file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': 'Hello.txt'})
file1.SetContentString('Hello')
file1.Upload() # Files.insert()
file1['title'] = 'HelloWorld.txt' # Change title of the file
file1.Upload() # Files.patch()
content = file1.GetContentString() # 'Hello'
file1.SetContentString(content+' World!') # 'Hello World!'
file1.Upload() # Files.update()
file2 = drive.CreateFile()
file2.SetContentFile('hello.png')
file2.Upload()
print('Created file %s with mimeType %s' % (file2['title'],
file2['mimeType']))
# Created file hello.png with mimeType image/png
file3 = drive.CreateFile({'id': file2['id']})
print('Downloading file %s from Google Drive' % file3['title']) # 'hello.png'
file3.GetContentFile('world.png') # Save Drive file as a local file
# or download Google Docs files in an export format provided.
# downloading a docs document as an html file:
docsfile.GetContentFile('test.html', mimetype='text/html')File listing pagination made easy
PyDrive2 handles file listing pagination for you.
# Auto-iterate through all files that matches this query
file_list = drive.ListFile({'q': "'root' in parents"}).GetList()
for file1 in file_list:
print('title: {}, id: {}'.format(file1['title'], file1['id']))
# Paginate file lists by specifying number of max results
for file_list in drive.ListFile({'maxResults': 10}):
print('Received {} files from Files.list()'.format(len(file_list))) # <= 10
for file1 in file_list:
print('title: {}, id: {}'.format(file1['title'], file1['id']))Fsspec filesystem
PyDrive2 provides easy way to work with your files through fsspec compatible GDriveFileSystem.
from pydrive2.fs import GDriveFileSystem
fs = GDriveFileSystem("root", client_id=my_id, client_secret=my_secret)
for root, dnames, fnames in fs.walk(""):
...Concurrent access made easy
All API functions made to be thread-safe.
