Ask for clone to python

[mamin27]

Hello Charles,

I would like to clone your OSFS into python 3 version into my project https://github.com/mamin27/ecomet_i2c_raspberry_tools. I would like to use your code logic for EEPROM operation system.
I would like to know your opinion? The code will be different but I would like to use your logic of file storing into EEPROM. Currently I am working on some different code but after half year I would like to start.

Regards Marian Minar

Hi @mamin27 ,

That shouldn't be too hard! I'd suggest you take a look at the Internals section of the readme (https://github.com/charlesbaynham/OSFS#internals) for a description of the file format. Let me know if you do start a clone, I'd be happy to give some feedback.

Thanks Charles,

I would plan to look at all information and probably some new features. Firstly I will prepare some logical file system structure with your standards. I need also something like reserve space for file, appending file. Something like 'ls -ls' Add timestamp for file ... I will communicate with you about it. I would like to use your file system name. The Idea is also that the EEPROM content will be compatible with your code.
Thanks for your feedback support and help.
I suppose that I will have the time to start at feb 2021.

Regards

Marian

Great, let’s stay in touch. Adding a timestamp to the OSFS spec is probably out of scope: that would make it mode complex which doesn’t really fit with the “overly simplified” theme! There’s nothing to stop you storing a timestamp in the “data” section of a file though, so you could use a python-based OSFS-compatible EEPROM driver to store your files, which include timestamp data and the file contents themselves.
