plinder.core

The plinder.core package collects useful functions and classes for interacting with the PLINDER dataset. It manages app configuration and will automatically download (and / or sync) the dataset to a local cache in a lazy manner, when particular assets are requested. One side effect of this is that plinder.core will (by default) compare the MD5 checksums of files on disk and files in cloud storage when they are accessed.

Note

You can disable the MD5 checksum comparison between local files and remote files by setting the environment variable PLINDER_OFFLINE=true.
