iBridges with Python

This section is for users that want to use Python to connect to their iRODS server and perform data manipulations. The Python API (Application Programming Interface) is the most feature complete part of iBridges and it is also the most flexible, since users can manipulate the underlying data structures to be able to use all the features of the underlying python-irodsclient library. Alternatively, users can use the Command Line Interface or the Graphical User Interface.
