A Filesystem-based Sage Notebook Datastore

Here is the filesystem layout for this datastore. Note that the all of the pickles are pickles of basic Python objects, so can be unpickled in any version of Python with or without Sage or the Sage notebook installed. They are also not compressed, so are reasonably easy to read ASCII.

The filesystem layout is as follows. It mirrors the URL’s used by the Sage notebook server:

sage_notebook.sagenb
     conf.pickle
     users.pickle
     home/
         username0/
            history.pickle
            id_number0/
                worksheet.html
                worksheet_conf.pickle
                cells/
                data/
                snapshots/
            id_number1/
                worksheet.html
                worksheet_conf.pickle
                cells/
                data/
                snapshots/
            ...
         username1/
         ...

class sagenb.storage.filesystem_storage.FilesystemDatastore(path)

Bases: sagenb.storage.abstract_storage.Datastore

delete()

Delete all files associated with this datastore. Dangerous! This is only here because it is useful for doctesting.

export_worksheet(username, id_number, filename, title)

Export the worksheet with given username and id_number to the given filename (e.g., ‘worksheet.sws’).

INPUT:

• title - title to use for the exported worksheet (if

  None, just use current title)

import_worksheet(username, id_number, filename)

Import the worksheet username/id_number from the file with given filename.

load_server_conf()

load_user_history(username)

Return the history log for the given user.

INPUT:

• username – string

OUTPUT:

• list of strings

load_users()

OUTPUT:

• dictionary of user info

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sagenb.notebook.user import User
sage: users = {'admin':User('admin','abc','a@b.c','admin'), 'wstein':User('wstein','xyz','b@c.d','user')}
sage: from sagenb.storage import FilesystemDatastore
sage: ds = FilesystemDatastore(tmp_dir())
sage: ds.save_users(users)
sage: 'users.pickle' in os.listdir(ds._path)
True
sage: ds.load_users()
{'admin': admin, 'wstein': wstein}

load_worksheet(username, id_number)

Return worksheet with given id_number belonging to the given user.

INPUT:

• username – string
• id_number – integer

OUTPUT:

• a worksheet

save_server_conf(server_conf)

INPUT:

• server –

save_user_history(username, history)

Save the history log (a list of strings) for the given user.

INPUT:

• username – string
• history – list of strings

save_users(users)

INPUT:

• users – dictionary mapping user names to users

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sagenb.notebook.user import User
sage: users = {'admin':User('admin','abc','a@b.c','admin'), 'xyz':User('xyz','myalksjf','b@c.d','user')}
sage: from sagenb.storage import FilesystemDatastore
sage: ds = FilesystemDatastore(tmp_dir())
sage: ds.save_users(users)
sage: 'users.pickle' in os.listdir(ds._path)
True
sage: ds.load_users()
{'admin': admin, 'xyz': xyz}

save_worksheet(worksheet, conf_only=False)

INPUT:

• worksheet – a Sage worksheet
• conf_only – default: False; if True, only save the config file, not the actual body of the worksheet

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sagenb.notebook.worksheet import Worksheet
sage: tmp = tmp_dir()
sage: W = Worksheet('test', 2, tmp, system='gap', owner='sageuser')
sage: from sagenb.storage import FilesystemDatastore
sage: DS = FilesystemDatastore(tmp)
sage: DS.save_worksheet(W)

worksheets(username)

Return list of all the worksheets belonging to the user with given name. If the given user does not exists, an empty list is returned.

EXAMPLES: The load_user_data function must be defined in the derived class:

sage: from sagenb.storage import FilesystemDatastore
sage: tmp = tmp_dir()
sage: FilesystemDatastore(tmp).worksheets('foobar')
[]
sage: from sagenb.notebook.worksheet import Worksheet
sage: W = Worksheet('test', 2, tmp, system='gap', owner='sageuser')
sage: from sagenb.storage import FilesystemDatastore
sage: DS = FilesystemDatastore(tmp)
sage: DS.save_worksheet(W)
sage: DS.worksheets('sageuser')
[sageuser/2: [Cell 0; in=, out=]]

sagenb.storage.filesystem_storage.is_safe(a)

Used when importing contents of various directories from Sage worksheet files. We define this function to avoid the possibility of a user crafting fake sws file such that extracting it creates files outside where we want, e.g., by including .. or / in the path of some file.
