morefs provides standalone fsspec-based filesystems like:
AsyncLocalFileSystem
that provides async implementation ofLocalFileSystem
.- In-memory filesystems
DictFileSystem
built on nested dictionaries andMemFS
built on tries, and are much faster than fsspec'sMemoryFileSystem
. OverlayFileSystem
that allows to overlay multiple fsspec-based filesystems.
You can install morefs via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install morefs
You might need to install with extras for some filesystems:
$ pip install morefs[asynclocal] # for installing aiofile dependency for AsyncLocalFileSystem
$ pip install morefs[memfs] # for installing pygtrie dependency for MemFS
Extended version of LocalFileSystem
that also provides async methods.
import asyncio
from morefs.asyn_local import AsyncLocalFileSystem
async def main():
fs = AsyncLocalFileSystem(auto_mkdir=False)
f = await fs.open_async("foo", mode="w")
async with f:
await f.write("foobar")
content = await fs._cat("foo")
print(content)
print(fs.cat("foo")) # you can still use sync methods
asyncio.run(main())
DictFS is a nested dictionary-based, in-memory filesystem and acts more like a real LocalFileSystem.
from morefs.dict import filesystem
fs = DictFS()
MemFS is a trie-based in-memory filesystem, and acts like a bucket storage.
from morefs.memory import MemFS
fs = MemFS()
from morefs.overlay import OverlayFileSystem
# use localfilesystem for write, overlay all filesystems for read
fs = OverlayFileSystem(file={"auto_mkdir": True}, s3={"anon": True})
# or you can pass filesystem instances directly
# as variable positional arguments or with keyword argument `filesystems=[]`
fs = OverlayFileSystem(LocalFileSystem(), s3={"anon": True})
