Download and Installation

Relevant resources

• Download the source code of COS's XML Python SDK here.
• Download the XML Python SDK here.
• Download the XML Python Demo.
• For the complete sample code, see SDK Sample Code.
• For the SDK changelog, see Changelog.
• For SDK FAQs, see Python SDK FAQs.

Note：

If you encounter errors such as non-existent functions or methods when using the XML version of the SDK, please update the SDK to the latest version and try again.

Environmental dependencies

Currently, COS’s XML Python SDK supports Python 2.7, Python 3.4, and later.

Note：

For the definitions of terms such as SecretId, SecretKey, Bucket, and Region, see COS Glossary.

Installing SDK

You can install the SDK in three ways: installation via pip, manual installation, and offline installation.

• Installing via pip (recommended)

   pip install -U cos-python-sdk-v5
  

• Manual installation
  Download the source code here and install the SDK manually via setup by running the following command:

   python setup.py install
  

• Offline installation

  # Run the following commands on a device that is connected to the Internet
  mkdir cos-python-sdk-packages
  pip download cos-python-sdk-v5 -d cos-python-sdk-packages
  tar -czvf cos-python-sdk-packages.tar.gz cos-python-sdk-packages
  # Copy the installation package to a device that is not connected to the Internet and run the following commands
  # Please make sure that the version of Python on the two computers is the same; otherwise, the installation will fail.
  tar -xzvf cos-python-sdk-packages.tar.gz
  pip install cos-python-sdk-v5 --no-index -f cos-python-sdk-packages
  

Getting Started

The section below describes how to use the COS SDK for Python to perform basic operations, such as initializing a client, creating a bucket, querying the bucket list, uploading an object, querying the object list, downloading an object, and deleting an object.

Initialization

Note：

• We recommend you use a sub-account key and environment variables to call the SDK for security purposes. When authorizing a sub-account, follow the Notes on Principle of Least Privilege to avoid leaking resources besides your buckets and objects.
• If you must use a permanent key, we recommend you follow the Notes on Principle of Least Privilege to limit the scope of permission on the permanent key.

You can initialize the Python SDK Client in the following ways as needed:

Initializing with the COS default domain (default)

If you use the COS default domain to access COS, the SDK will access COS using a domain name formatted as {bucket-appid}.cos.{region}.myqcloud.com.

# -*- coding=utf-8
from qcloud_cos import CosConfig
from qcloud_cos import CosS3Client
import sys
import os
import logging

# In most cases, set the log level to INFO. If you need to debug, you can set it to DEBUG and the SDK will print the communication information of the client.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stdout)

# 1. Set user attributes such as secret_id, secret_key, and region. Appid has been removed from CosConfig and thus needs to be specified in Bucket, which is formatted as BucketName-Appid.
secret_id = os.environ['COS_SECRET_ID']     # User `SecretId`. We recommend you use a sub-account key and follow the principle of least privilege to reduce risks. For information about how to obtain a sub-account key, visit https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/598/32675.
secret_key = os.environ['COS_SECRET_KEY']   # User `SecretKey`. We recommend you use a sub-account key and follow the principle of least privilege to reduce risks. For information about how to obtain a sub-account key, visit  https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/598/32675.
region = 'ap-beijing'      # Replace it with the actual region, which can be viewed in the console at https://console.tencentcloud.com/cos5/bucket
                           # For the list of regions supported by COS, visit https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/436/6224
token = None               # Token is required for temporary keys but not permanent keys. For more information about how to generate and use a temporary key, visit https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/436/14048.
scheme = 'https'           # Specify whether to use HTTP or HTTPS protocol to access COS. This field is optional and is `https` by default

config = CosConfig(Region=region, SecretId=secret_id, SecretKey=secret_key, Token=token, Scheme=scheme)
client = CosS3Client(config)

Note：

Usually, you only need to generate one CosS3Client instance for a region, and can upload/download objects repeatedly. Do not generate a CosS3Client instance for every access. Otherwise, the Python process will occupy too many connections and threads.

Note：

For more information about how to generate and use a temporary key, see Generating and Using Temporary Keys.

Initializing with the COS default domain (temporary key method)

If you use the COS default domain to access COS, the SDK will access COS using a domain name formatted as {bucket-appid}.cos.{region}.myqcloud.com.

}

config = CosConfig(Region=region, SecretId=secret_id, SecretKey=secret_key, Token=token, Proxies=proxies)
client = CosS3Client(config)

Initializing with the COS acceleration domain

If you use the COS global acceleration domain to access COS, the SDK will access COS using a domain name formatted as {bucket-appid}.cos.accelerate.myqcloud.com. region will not appear in the domain name.

config = CosConfig(Region=region, SecretId=secret_id, SecretKey=secret_key, Token=token, Endpoint=endpoint, Scheme=scheme)
client = CosS3Client(config)

Initializing with a custom domain

If you use a custom domain to access COS, the SDK will directly access COS using the user domain configured. Neither bucket nor region will appear in the domain name.
