Example app using Python

There are two basic examples contained here. A Mega Command Line Interface client (megacli), and a simple CRUD example (create, read, update, delete a file).

To build the required (Python) modules, see the README.md in bindings/python/.

Mega Command Line Interface

This is a console app that uses the Python bindings of the SDK.

It shows a shell like the one in the megacli example that allows to:

  • Log in to a MEGA account (login, logout)
  • Browse folders (cd, ls, pwd)
  • Create new folders (mkdir)
  • Show the inbound shared folders (mount)
  • Upload/download files (put, get)
  • Delete, rename and move files/folders (rm, mv)
  • Import files and export files/folders (import, export)
  • Change the password of the account (passwd)
  • Get info about the account (whoami)

Prerequisite:

  • Installed Mega SDK with Python bindings and the Python module cmd (or cmd2).

To start the client just run megacli.py from this folder.

Mega CRUD Example

Just run crud_example.py from this folder.

To avoid typing in credentials, you may create a credentials.json file with the following content:

{
    "user": "your.email@provider.org",
    "password": "your_supersecret_password"
}

To Keep In Mind

If you want to create your own Python app, you can use the MegaApi object. However, these bindings are still a work in progress and have some inconveniences:

  • You can't use callback parameters out of the callbacks. Instead, you can use the copy() method of MegaRequest, MegaTransfer and MegaError to preserve them and to use them later.
  • You can't use objects returned by MegaNodeList, MegaTransferList, MegaShareList or MegaUserList after losing the reference to the original list. You can use the copy() method commented above to preserve those objects.
  • You must keep a reference in your app to listeners used to receive events, otherwise the SDK will crash when it tries to use them.

We plan to create a MegaApiPython wrapper on top of MegaApi to take care of these issues for you.
