ATTENTION: A security issue in PyWebDAV when being used with MySQL (other usecases are NOT affected) has been found. This is fixed in version 0.9.4.1 released Feb 18th 2011. Please update your installations!

About

Python WebDAV implementation (level 1 and 2) that features a library that enables you to integrate WebDAV server capabilities to your application.

A fully working example on how to use the library is included. You can find a server in the DAVServer package. This server is fully functional and can even be run as daemon.

If you search an easy to use WebDAV server that supports most clients (cadaver, Mac OS X Finder, Windows Explorer, ...) then try out PyWebDAV.

Usecases

• Calendar Server for iCal (tested on Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard)
• Simple fileserver
• Making your application support WebDAV

Installation

Installation and setup of server can be as easy as follows:

``` $ easy_install PyWebDAV $ davserver -D /tmp -n -J Starting up PyWebDAV server (version 0.9.2-dev)

ATTENTION: Authentication disabled! Serving data from /tmp Listening on localhost (8008) ```

If you're living on the bleeding edge then check out the sourcecode from http://pywebdav.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

$ svn co http://pywebdav.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pywebdav $ cd pywebdav $ python setup.py develop $ davserver --help

If you want to use the library then have a look at the DAVServer package that holds all code for a full blown server. Also doc/ARCHITECURE has information for you.

Additional notes

If you want MySQL based authentication then you need to install the following package and also configure the server using a configuration file.

MySQLdb (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python)
