Updated CMIS client library for Python – cmislib 0.2

Nico — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:39:44 +0000

Since Monday the new python library for CMIS is available in version 0.2.
cmislib provides a CMIS client library for Python that can be used to work with CMIS-compliant repositories such as Alfresco, IBM FileNet, Nuxeo and others.

The high-level To-Do list is in the about page within the docs. Code-level To-Do’s are scattered throughout the source. Basically, right now you can:

Create folders and documents (with or without content)
Retrieve and update properties on folders and documents
Checkout, checkin, cancel checkout
Delete folders and documents
Run CMIS queries, including those that return paged results
Get the list of object type definitions or specific type defs by type ID

The library has been tested against:

Alfresco 3.2r2 Community (CMIS 1.0cd04)
Alfresco hosted CMIS (CMIS 1.0cd06)
IBM FileNet P8 (CMIS 1.0cd06)

You can download it here.

Jeff Potts just released the new version (0.1) of the python library for CMIS.
The library has been successfully tested with IBM FileNet and Alfresco.

You can download the source code here. Also documentation and easy install instructions for python are available.

As Jeff posted on this blog this is the first API known to work with different CMIS providers. This shows that the interoperability really works!

cmislib – A CMIS client library for Python

CMIS APIs are available in different languages. I found .NET, JAVA and PHP implementations. Since a few days there is also an API for Python available.

This library has been developed by Jeff Pott. Jeff is the author of the famous book “Alfresco Developer Guide”.

I’ve started a new project on Google Code called cmislib. It is an interoperable client library for CMIS in Python that uses the Restful AtomPub Binding of a CMIS provider to perform CRUD and query functions on the repository.

He tests his library against the Alfresco CMIS repository.
Check his blog post to get further details about this Python library.
