Download Management

download

SoftManager class to manage file downloads with a progress display.

This class downloads files from URLs with progress tracking rendered through the :mod:eos_downloader.helpers reporter layer, which selects a rich (terminal) or plain (CI / non-TTY) display automatically.

Functions:

Name Description
download_file

Downloads a file from the given URL to the specified path with a progress display.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
None
Example
>>> downloader = SoftManager()
>>> result = downloader.download_file(
...     url='http://example.com/file.zip',
...     file_path='/downloads',
...     filename='file.zip',
... )

SoftManager

SoftManager(
    dry_run: bool = False,
    force_download: bool = False,
    console: Optional[Console] = None,
)

SoftManager helps to download files from a remote location.

This class provides methods to download files using either a simple progress bar or a rich interface with enhanced visual feedback.

Examples:

>>> downloader = SoftManager()
>>> downloader.download_file(
...     url="http://example.com/file.txt",
...     file_path="/tmp",
...     filename="file.txt"
... )
'/tmp/file.txt'

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
dry_run bool

If True, simulate operations without executing them, by default False

False
force_download bool

If True, bypass cache and force download/import, by default False

False
console Console

Shared Rich console used to render the progress display. When omitted, a default Console is created (its terminal detection then drives progress="auto").

None

checksum

checksum(
    check_type: Literal["md5sum", "sha512sum", "md5"],
) -> bool

Verifies the integrity of a downloaded file using a specified checksum algorithm.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
check_type Literal['md5sum', 'sha512sum', 'md5']

The type of checksum to perform. Currently supports ‘md5sum’ or ‘sha512sum’.

required

Returns:

Type Description
bool

True if the checksum verification passes.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If the calculated checksum does not match the expected checksum.

FileNotFoundError

If either the checksum file or the target file cannot be found.

Examples:

>>> client.checksum('sha512sum')  # Returns True if checksum matches

) -> tuple[str, bool]

Downloads files from Arista EOS server with caching support.

Downloads the EOS image and optional md5/sha512 files based on the provided EOS XML object. Each file is downloaded to the specified path with appropriate filenames. Uses cache to skip already downloaded files unless force_download is enabled. The files of a single download are fetched concurrently and rendered in one shared progress display.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
object_arista AristaXmlObjects

Object containing EOS image and hash file URLs.

required
file_path str

Directory path where files should be downloaded.

required
progress ProgressMode

Progress rendering mode: "auto" (default), "rich", "plain" or "none".

'auto'
rich_interface bool

Deprecated. Use progress instead. False maps to progress="plain" and True maps to progress="auto".

None

Returns:

Type Description
tuple[str, bool]

A tuple containing: - The file path where files were downloaded/cached - Boolean indicating if files were retrieved from cache (True) or downloaded (False)

Examples:

Download new files or use cache:

>>> client = SoftManager()
>>> path, cached = client.downloads(eos_obj, "/tmp/downloads")
>>> if cached:
...     print("Files retrieved from cache")

Force re-download even if cached:

>>> client = SoftManager(force_download=True)
>>> path, cached = client.downloads(eos_obj, "/tmp/downloads")
>>> cached  # Will be False
False
