tos

What it is and what it does

The tos package is an official Python SDK for Volcengine's TOS object storage service. It provides a client interface to manage buckets and objects—creating storage containers, uploading and downloading files, and deleting objects. The SDK requires Python 3 and valid Volcengine account credentials (access key, secret key, endpoint, and region) to authenticate.

The package has no external runtime dependencies, which simplifies deployment, but the high install friction suggests potential complications during setup—possibly related to platform-specific requirements or build steps. It is actively maintained and has seen recent releases, with no known security vulnerabilities as of the query date.

Use it for:

• Upload and download files to Volcengine TOS from Python applications without writing raw HTTP requests.
• Automate bucket creation and object lifecycle management in Volcengine infrastructure.
• Integrate Volcengine object storage into data pipelines or backup workflows.
• Build cloud-native applications that store and retrieve data from TOS buckets programmatically.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

A Python SDK for interacting with Volcengine's TOS (Tinder Object Storage) service, providing bucket and object operations like create, upload, download, and delete.

Yes, if you are already committed to Volcengine's ecosystem and need to interact with TOS from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and requires no external dependencies. However, resolve the unclear license terms before use in commercial projects, and investigate the high install friction to ensure it does not block your deployment pipeline.

Install

pip install tos

uv add tos

poetry add tos

Installing tos

Before you install

High install friction with no runtime dependencies. The package is actively maintained (last release 72 days ago) and supports Python 3.5 through 3.9, but the friction signal suggests potential setup or platform-specific complications.

License in practice

License treatment is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is available in the metadata. Verify the actual license terms before adopting this package in a commercial or open-source project.

Quickstart

import tos

client = tos.TosClientV2(ak="your_access_key", sk="your_secret_key", endpoint="your_endpoint", region="your_region")
client.create_bucket("bucket_name")
client.put_object("bucket_name", "object_key", content="data")
resp = client.get_object("bucket_name", "object_key")

Requires valid Volcengine account credentials (access key, secret key, endpoint, and region) to authenticate and interact with TOS service.

Verify before relying

• What specific platform or system dependencies cause the high install friction?
• Is there a published license file or terms document outside the PyPI metadata?
• What is the actual Python version requirement—does it truly support 3.5, or is that outdated?
