Paths/wildcards on Boto get_bucket()?

[David Cheney]

Apologies if this is a FAQ.. not found an answer via search..

From within GAE, using python, I want to get a list of objects in a
GSD bucket:

uri = boto.storage_uri('mybucket','gs')
names = ''
for obj in uri.get_bucket():
names = names + " " + obj.name

This works handily but returns all items.. when what I care about is a
subset.

My objective is to get a list of images on a certain path as I would
get with a "/a/b/*.jpg"

I can obviously parse the list myself, but was hoping I'd missed magic
somewhere in the libs.

Thanks,
DJC

David,

The REST API doesn't directly support wildcard request. You can ask for a prefix, but not (for example) gs://bucket/*.txt

gsutil has a library that does the wildcarding you want: please see http://code.google.com/p/gsutil/source/browse/trunk/src/gslib/wildcard_iterator.py

(Or if you just need to do some wildcarding from the command line, you can use gsutil rather than the library inside gsutil)

"a prefix" as in "gs://bucket/images/" would get me only those objects
whose names start with "images/" ?

Thanks Mike..
