The flake8 command (when run from the command line or via vim-flake8) seems to bypass the the normal pep8 [W]arning and [E]rror as well as py[F]lake checks if the project level tox.ini includes a select, but doesn't include them in it's select option (tested on flake8 v2.0 and v2.1). Somehow if hacking is installed these checks always run even if they're not explicitly listed in the select list - but adding them so flake8 works on our project even without hacking doesn't seem to cause any problems. Also The [flake8] section's "select" option in tox.ini doesn't seem to run all checks when presented with the space-comma seperated list. I had to pull out the bare except check (H201), because our hacking fix for the "H201 # noqa" hasn't been released to pypi yet (maybe hacking version 0.9.0?). As far as I know the Swift core development team is fully onboard with pep8, and the flake8 checks are mostly like "unused import" stuff - so I *think* this change is more about making the tool test what we want it too and not changing or adding any new requirements or expectations.

Swift
A distributed object storage system designed to scale from a single machine to thousands of servers. Swift is optimized for multi-tenancy and high concurrency. Swift is ideal for backups, web and mobile content, and any other unstructured data that can grow without bound.
Swift provides a simple, REST-based API fully documented at http://docs.openstack.org/.
Swift was originally developed as the basis for Rackspace's Cloud Files and was open-sourced in 2010 as part of the OpenStack project. It has since grown to include contributions from many companies and has spawned a thriving ecosystem of 3rd party tools. Swift's contributors are listed in the AUTHORS file.
Docs
To build documentation install sphinx (pip install sphinx), run
python setup.py build_sphinx, and then browse to /doc/build/html/index.html.
These docs are auto-generated after every commit and available online at
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/.
For Developers
The best place to get started is the "SAIO - Swift All In One". This document will walk you through setting up a development cluster of Swift in a VM. The SAIO environment is ideal for running small-scale tests against swift and trying out new features and bug fixes.
You can run unit tests with .unittests and functional tests with
.functests.
Code Organization
- bin/: Executable scripts that are the processes run by the deployer
- doc/: Documentation
- etc/: Sample config files
- swift/: Core code
- account/: account server
- common/: code shared by different modules
- middleware/: "standard", officially-supported middleware
- ring/: code implementing Swift's ring
- container/: container server
- obj/: object server
- proxy/: proxy server
- test/: Unit and functional tests
Data Flow
Swift is a WSGI application and uses eventlet's WSGI server. After the
processes are running, the entry point for new requests is the Application
class in swift/proxy/server.py. From there, a controller is chosen, and the
request is processed. The proxy may choose to forward the request to a back-
end server. For example, the entry point for requests to the object server is
the ObjectController class in swift/obj/server.py.
For Deployers
Deployer docs are also available at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/. A good starting point is at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/deployment_guide.html
You can run functional tests against a swift cluster with .functests. These
functional tests require /etc/swift/test.conf to run. A sample config file
can be found in this source tree in test/sample.conf.
For Client Apps
For client applications, official Python language bindings are provided at http://github.com/openstack/python-swiftclient.
Complete API documentation at http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/
For more information come hang out in #openstack-swift on freenode.
