pathlib-style classes for cloud storage services

cloudpathlib is a Python library with classes that mimic pathlib.Path's interface for URIs from different cloud storage services. Why use cloudpathlib? - Familiar: If you know how to interact with Path, you know how to interact with CloudPath. All of the cloud-relevant Path methods are implemented. - Supported clouds: AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage are implemented. FTP is on the way. - Extensible: The base classes do most of the work generically, so implementing two small classes MyPath and MyClient is all you need to add support for a new cloud storage service. - Read/write support: Reading just works. Using the write_text, write_bytes or .open('w') methods will all upload your changes to cloud storage without any additional file management as a developer. - Seamless caching: Files are downloaded locally only when necessary. You can also easily pass a persistent cache folder so that across processes and sessions you only re-download what is necessary. - Tested: Comprehensive test suite and code coverage. - Testability: Local filesystem implementations that can be used to easily mock cloud storage in your unit tests.
