* Package name : python-requests-file Version : 2017-04-28 Upstream Author : David Shea * URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests-file * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : File transport adapter for Requests Requests-File is a transport adapter for use with the Requests Python library to allow local filesystem access via file:// URLs. Features: * Will open and read local files * Might set a Content-Length header * That’s about it No encoding information is set in the response object, so be careful using Response.text: the chardet library will be used to convert the file to a unicode type and it may not detect what you actually want. EACCES is converted to a 403 status code, and ENOENT is converted to a 404. All other IOError types are converted to a 400. == I plan on shoving this into py2dsp and co-maintaining it with whoever wants to. I need this to simplify feed2exec local file:// access routines and I think it's a generally good package to have available (and why isn't this in requests in the first place??) I'd be happy to delegate this to the Python team as well of course.
