Project description
☁ rclone-python ☁️
A python wrapper for rclone that makes rclone's functionality usable in python. rclone needs to be installed on the system for the wrapper to work.

Installation
rclone_python can be installed using pip
pip install rclone-python
or by cloning this repository and running from within the root of the project
pip install .
How to use
All functionally of this wrapper is accessible in the rclone
class of the rclone_python
package.
The following example checks if rclone is installed.
from rclone_python import rclone
print(rclone.is_installed())
# True
Create new remote
Create a new rclone remote connection with rclone's default client-id and client-secret.
from rclone_python import rclone
from rclone_python.remote_types import RemoteTypes
rclone.create_remote('onedrive', RemoteTypes.onedrive)
Additionally, client-id and client-secret can be used with many cloud providers.
from rclone_python import rclone
from rclone_python.remote_types import RemoteTypes
rclone.create_remote('onedrive', RemoteTypes.onedrive, client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID', client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET')
Copy
from rclone_python import rclone
# copy all file in the test_dir on OneDrive to the local data folder.
rclone.copy('onedrive:test_dir', 'data')
# Copying from onedrive:test_dir to data |████████████████████████████████████████| 100% in 18.0s (5.56%/s)
Delete
Delete a file or a directory. When deleting a directory, only the files in the directory (and all it's subdirectories) are deleted, but the folders remain.
from rclone_python import rclone
# delete a specific file on onedrive
rclone.delete('onedrive:data/video1.mp4')
Prune
from rclone_python import rclone
# remove the entire test_dir folder (and all files contained in it and it's subdirectories) on onedrive
rclone.purge('onedrive:test_dir')
