## Python smart_open 1.7.1
|
|
|
|
smart_open is a python library for efficient streaming of large files from/to HDFS, S3, HTTP, or local files.
|
|
The simplest way to install `smart_open` is using `pip`
|
|
|
|
``` pip install smart_open ```
|
|
|
|
It is a good replacement for built-in open().
|
|
It does everything open() can, and falls back to native open whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
#### Why?
|
|
|
|
It can be a pain while working with large S3 files using boto and boto3 libraries.
|
|
`smart_open` builds on boto3 and is very simple to work with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
import smart_open
|
|
|
|
with smart_open.smart_open('s3://tmp-bucket/myfile.txt') as f:
|
|
lines = f.readlines()
|
|
for line in lines:
|
|
print line
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
