Introduction

The idea behind the python-webdav library is to provide developers with an easy to use library that can also allow for a finer grain of control when needed.

The library currently contains two modules: connection and client

Connection Module

The connection module itself has four classes: Connection, Client, LockToken and Property

First basic examples

To import the library, use:

import python_webdav

Using the basic functionality of the library is simple. Start by making a Client object:

import python_webdav

client_object = python_webdav.Client('https://webdav.example.net/')
client_object.set_connection(username='KingArthur', password='HolyGrail')

This will set up a Client object that will communicate with the given server and credentials.

The idea of setting up the server and authentication information seperately, is to allow the connection to be used for different users, instead of havingto create individual connections for each user.
