Re-import of synchronous gridfs API for compatibility.

class gridfs.grid_file.GridIn(root_collection, session=None, **kwargs)¶

Write a file to GridFS

Application developers should generally not need to instantiate this class directly - instead see the methods provided by GridFS.

Raises TypeError if root_collection is not an instance of Collection.

Any of the file level options specified in the GridFS Spec may be passed as keyword arguments. Any additional keyword arguments will be set as additional fields on the file document. Valid keyword arguments include:

• "_id": unique ID for this file (default:ObjectId) - this "_id" must not have already been used for another file
• "filename": human name for the file
• "contentType" or "content_type": valid mime-type for the file
• "chunkSize" or "chunk_size": size of each of the chunks, in bytes (default: 255 kb)
• "encoding": encoding used for this file. Any strthat is written to the file will be converted to bytes.

Parameters:

• root_collection (Collection[ Any ]) – root collection to write to
• session (Optional _[_ClientSession]) – aClientSession to use for all commands
• kwargs (Any) – Any: file level options (see above)

Changed in version 3.7: Added the disable_md5 parameter.

Changed in version 3.6: Added session parameter.

Changed in version 3.0: root_collection must use an acknowledgedwrite_concern

_id_: Any_¶

The '_id' value for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

abort()¶

Remove all chunks/files that may have been uploaded and close.

Return type:

None

property chunk_size_: Any_¶

Chunk size for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

close()¶

Flush the file and close it.

A closed file cannot be written any more. Callingclose() more than once is allowed.

Return type:

None

property closed_: bool_¶

Is this file closed?

property content_type_: Any_¶

DEPRECATED, will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. Mime-type for this file.

property filename_: Any_¶

Name of this file.

property length_: Any_¶

Length (in bytes) of this file.

This attribute is read-only and can only be read after close() has been called.

property md5_: Any_¶

DEPRECATED, will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. MD5 of the contents of this file if an md5 sum was created.

This attribute is read-only and can only be read after close() has been called.

property name_: Any_¶

Alias for filename.

property upload_date_: Any_¶

Date that this file was uploaded.

This attribute is read-only and can only be read after close() has been called.

write(data)¶

Write data to the file. There is no return value.

data can be either a string of bytes or a file-like object (implementing read()). If the file has anencoding attribute, data can also be astr instance, which will be encoded asencoding before being written.

Due to buffering, the data may not actually be written to the database until the close() method is called. RaisesValueError if this file is already closed. RaisesTypeError if data is not an instance ofbytes, a file-like object, or an instance of str. Unicode data is only allowed if the file has an encodingattribute.

Parameters:

data (Any) – string of bytes or file-like object to be written to the file

Return type:

None

writelines(sequence)¶

Write a sequence of strings to the file.

Does not add separators.

Parameters:

sequence (Iterable_[_Any])

Return type:

None

class gridfs.grid_file.GridOut(root_collection, file_id=None, file_document=None, session=None)¶

Read a file from GridFS

Application developers should generally not need to instantiate this class directly - instead see the methods provided by GridFS.

Either file_id or file_document must be specified,file_document will be given priority if present. RaisesTypeError if root_collection is not an instance ofCollection.

Parameters:

• root_collection (Collection[ Any ]) – root collection to read from
• file_id (Optional _[_int]) – value of "_id" for the file to read
• file_document (Optional [ Any ]) – file document fromroot_collection.files
• session (Optional _[_ClientSession]) – aClientSession to use for all commands

Changed in version 3.8: For better performance and to better follow the GridFS spec,GridOut now uses a single cursor to read all the chunks in the file.

Changed in version 3.6: Added session parameter.

Changed in version 3.0: Creating a GridOut does not immediately retrieve the file metadata from the server. Metadata is fetched when first needed.

_id_: Any_¶

The '_id' value for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

__iter__()¶

Return an iterator over all of this file’s data.

The iterator will return lines (delimited by b'\n') ofbytes. This can be useful when serving files using a webserver that handles such an iterator efficiently.

Changed in version 3.8: The iterator now raises CorruptGridFile when encountering any truncated, missing, or extra chunk in a file. The previous behavior was to only raise CorruptGridFile on a missing chunk.

Changed in version 4.0: The iterator now iterates over lines in the file, instead of chunks, to conform to the base class io.IOBase. Use GridOut.readchunk() to read chunk by chunk instead of line by line.

Return type:

GridOut

property aliases_: Any_¶

DEPRECATED, will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. List of aliases for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

property chunk_size_: Any_¶

Chunk size for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

close()¶

Make GridOut more generically file-like.

Return type:

None

property content_type_: Any_¶

DEPRECATED, will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. Mime-type for this file.

This attribute is read-only.

property filename_: Any_¶

Name of this file.

This attribute is read-only.

fileno()¶

Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists.

OSError is raised if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.

Return type:

NoReturn

flush()¶

Flush write buffers, if applicable.

This is not implemented for read-only and non-blocking streams.

Return type:

None

isatty()¶

Return whether this is an ‘interactive’ stream.

Return False if it can’t be determined.

Return type:

bool

property length_: Any_¶

Length (in bytes) of this file.

This attribute is read-only.

property md5_: Any_¶

DEPRECATED, will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. MD5 of the contents of this file if an md5 sum was created.

This attribute is read-only.

property metadata_: Any_¶

Metadata attached to this file.

This attribute is read-only.

property name_: Any_¶

Alias for filename.

This attribute is read-only.

read(size=-1)¶

Read at most size bytes from the file (less if there isn’t enough data).

The bytes are returned as an instance of bytesIf size is negative or omitted all data is read.

Parameters:

size (int) – the number of bytes to read

Return type:

bytes

Changed in version 3.8: This method now only checks for extra chunks after reading the entire file. Previously, this method would check for extra chunks on every call.

readable()¶

Return whether object was opened for reading.

If False, read() will raise OSError.

Return type:

bool

readchunk()¶

Reads a chunk at a time. If the current position is within a chunk the remainder of the chunk is returned.

Return type:

bytes

seek(pos, whence=0)¶

Set the current position of this file.

Parameters:

• pos (int) – the position (or offset if using relative positioning) to seek to
• whence (int) – where to seek from. os.SEEK_SET (0) for absolute file positioning, os.SEEK_CUR (1) to seek relative to the current position, os.SEEK_END (2) to seek relative to the file’s end.

Return type:

int

Changed in version 4.1: The method now returns the new position in the file, to conform to the behavior of io.IOBase.seek().

seekable()¶

Return whether object supports random access.

If False, seek(), tell() and truncate() will raise OSError. This method may need to do a test seek().

Return type:

bool

tell()¶

Return the current position of this file.

Return type:

int

truncate(size=None)¶

Truncate file to size bytes.

File pointer is left unchanged. Size defaults to the current IO position as reported by tell(). Returns the new size.

Parameters:

size (int | None)

Return type:

NoReturn

property upload_date_: Any_¶

Date that this file was first uploaded.

This attribute is read-only.

writable()¶

Return whether object was opened for writing.

If False, write() will raise OSError.

Return type:

bool

writelines(lines)¶

Write a list of lines to stream.

Line separators are not added, so it is usual for each of the lines provided to have a line separator at the end.

Parameters:

lines (Any)

Return type:

NoReturn
