These commands set up some prerequisites for working under the Python language with iRODS and the Python iRODS Client library (PRC):
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev python-pip
sudo -H apt-get install python-pip
sudo -H pip install --upgrade pip ; hash -r
At the time of writing, pip was current at version 9.0.1 ; you can verify that on your system by typing pip --version
.
The official repo for python iRODS client (aka the PRC) is at:
https://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient
You can follow the inline example(s) to become a bit more familiar with how the library works.
