Anaconda Catalogs client

A light client library for interfacing with the Anaconda catalogs service.

Usage

Currently, the catalogs are referenced by their unique ID of the form cid/09e802da-65b3-4ea0-b60d-642c88c7a541. A user can load a catalog with the following:

import anaconda_catalogs

cat = anaconda_catalogs.open_catalog("cid/09e802da-65b3-4ea0-b60d-642c88c7a541")

Alternately, the native intake plugin can be used:

import intake

cat = intake.open_anaconda_catalog("cid/09e802da-65b3-4ea0-b60d-642c88c7a541")

Or in an Intake catalog file,

## contents of catalog.yaml
sources:
  anaconda:
    driver: anaconda_catalog
    args:
      name: cid/09e802da-65b3-4ea0-b60d-642c88c7a541

which is opened in Intake as

import intake

cat = intake.open_catalog('catalog.yaml')
