python3-datalad-next - 1.5.0-1 main

This extension provides feature additions and updates for DataLad
(http://datalad.org). Unlike other more topical extensions, the provided
functionality is broadly applicable, and each individual components is
a candidate for migration into the DataLad core package. This includes
new commands that become available through DataLad when this package is
installed, but also runtime-modifications of other DataLad functionality
that are enabled when the extension is loaded (see 'datalad.extensions.load'
configuration switch). Examples are:
.
- credential management system, and better integration with commands
- support for dataset deposit/retrieval via WebDAV
- support for git-annex-export in DataLad's push command
- performance boosts for individual commands and IO throughput
- additional git-annex special remotes for leaner archive access and
dynamic, identifier-based access URL composition -- accessible
via a dedicated 'download' command
- Git remote helper to fetch/push from/to any place accessible via a
git-annex special remote
.
Moreover, this packages provides utilities to facilitate DataLad-based
development efforts:
.
- framework for uniform command parameter validation
- improved base class and utilities for git-annex special remote
implementations
- reusable pytest fixtures for common test scenarios
- iter_subproc() helper for communication with subprocesses
via input/output iterables
- shell context manager for interaction with (remote) shells
.
This package contains the Python module and the documentation.
