fsspec-xrootd

An XRootD implementation for fsspec.

Install

pip install fsspec-xrootd

Supports Python 3.9 and newer.

Purpose

To allow fsspec to use XRootD accessible storage systems. Install fsspec-xrootd alongside fsspec and have easy access to files stored on XRootD servers. Once installed, fsspec will be able to work with urls with the 'root' protocol. Only tested with Linux at this time.

The Python package depends on the XRootD client bindings directly. If you want to run the local integration tests, you will also need an xrootd server executable available on PATH.
