@aperloff : I just pushed 9fd293c2124b86984a75944d39e553e722982d84, it exposes the chunked dirlist handling that has been implemented in cc83c0918f3835329846621b5f5e603ffa24f783 The chunked semantics is available only for asynchronous calls, here's an example: ``` from XRootD import client from XRootD.client.flags import DirListFlags, OpenFlags, MkDirFlags, QueryCode from XRootD.client import responses import time def callback(st, rsp, hosts): if st.ok: for ent in rsp: print ent # or do something else if st.code == responses.XRootDStatus.suDone: # this is the last chunk print 'We are done.' if st.code == responses.XRootDStatus.suPartial: # this happens if some of the requests failed, e.g. # in case of recursive dirls client might fail listing # some subdirectories print 'We are done, but this is only partial result' if st.code == responses.XRootDStatus.suContinue: #more chunks will follow print 'We will continue with this callback' fs = client.FileSystem('root://slc7-test:1094') fs.dirlist( '/tmp', DirListFlags.RECURSIVE | DirListFlags.CHUNKED, 0, callback ) # make sure you wait until the callback gets the final response time.sleep(3) ``` I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else you need or if the issue can be closed! -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
