Giuseppe, My apologies for the misunderstanding. I do have some information on the librados API. There is a Python binding for the Ceph Filesystem in the repository. For information on cloning the Ceph repository, see http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/clone-source/ Once you clone the Ceph source, do: cd /ceph/src/pybind In that directory, you will find cephfs.py That's the python binding. It's not documented, but you can look through it and find the public methods. I have some draft work done on the librados python API, but it needs to pull in the docstring so the API signatures aren't so obvious. I'll attach an example script, since connecting is common to all uses of the Python bindings.
