Data Package Manager - in Python

dpm[py] is a command-line data package manager written in Python. You can use it to publish and install data packages from a data package registry server. For more about data packages see http://frictionlessdata.io/data-packages

Install

Until the new code available on pypi, you can install it from this repo:

[sudo] pip install git+https://github.com/frictionlessdata/dpm-py.git

Configuration

Dpmpy can be configured using dpmpy configure command. It will ask you to provide username, access_token and server address of datapackage registry.

The config is stored in ~/.dpm/config, you can edit it with text editor. Simple example config file can look like this:

username = myname
access_token = mypass
server = https://example.com
