A specification for pythonic filesystems.
pip install fsspecwould install the base fsspec. Various optionally supported features might require specification of custom
extra require, e.g. pip install fsspec[ssh] will install dependencies for ssh backends support.
Use pip install fsspec[full] for installation of all known extra dependencies.
Up-to-date package also provided through conda-forge distribution:
conda install -c conda-forge fsspecTo produce a template or specification for a file-system interface, that specific implementations should follow,
so that applications making use of them can rely on a common behaviour and not have to worry about the specific
internal implementation decisions with any given backend. Many such implementations are included in this package,
or in sister projects such as s3fs and gcsfs.
In addition, if this is well-designed, then additional functionality, such as a key-value store or FUSE mounting of the file-system implementation may be available for all implementations "for free".
