Introduction

PyFilesystem is a Python module that provides a common interface to any filesystem.

Think of PyFilesystem FS objects as the next logical step to Python’s file objects. In the same way that file objects abstract a single file, FS objects abstract an entire filesystem.

Installing

You can install PyFilesystem with pip as follows:

pip install fs

Or to upgrade to the most recent version:

pip install fs --upgrade

PyFilesystem is also available on conda:

conda install fs -c conda-forge

Alternatively, if you would like to install from source, you can check out the code from Github.
