iBridges / Python API for iRODS

Open-source Python client libraries and tooling for interacting with iRODS research-data-management storage, published by the official University of Groningen Centre for Information Technology GitHub organization (iBridges, iBridges-GUI, and an Apache WebDAV interface to iRODS). These are source-code SDKs/tools rather than a hosted public API.
