Python WebDAV client library

[Mads Kiilerich]

Hi

It seems like PyWebDAV is server side only. On the client side it is
harder to find any obvious good choices. Can you recommend something
on the client side? The old from Xerox? Or the old from Greg/Lyra?

Regards,
Mads

It depends of the purpose.
I use cadaver [1] and davfs2 [2]

[2] http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2

+1 - PyWebDAV is a server and will never provide client functionality.

Thanks.

A couple of desirable criteria could be the same implementation
language and quality as PyWebDAV. AFAIK none of these two have Python
bindings?

Can you recommend a good/best client library written in Python?

I don't understand why.

What is the purpose?

I was considering working with WebDAV client functionality in a python
application. AFAICS a quite obvious use case.

PyWebDAV seemed to be a good server for that, and I assumed that you
know what is going on in the python-WebDAV area.

But your answer indicates that there is no good answer or that it is
completely out of scope for you guys. Ok; sorry for disturbing.

WebDAV is simply HTTP request. So you can just write queries with any HTTP
library.

There is a library that's based on Greg Stein's davlib.
Haven't tried it myself though...
