Welcome to the iBridges documentation!

iBridges is a Python library to connect to iRods servers in a simplified and safe manner.

Warning

The project (including documentation) is currently in active development at a pre-alpha stage, which means that some functionality may be broken or not implemented yet. We appreciate help, issues and bug report in our issue tracker on github.

iBridges is a wrapper around the python-irodsclient. While the python-irodsclient is very powerful and feature rich, we aim to provide an easier API for users (mainly researchers) that do not have any technical knowledge of iRods.
