cached-path#

The idea behind cached-path is to provide a unified, simple, extendable interface for accessing both local and remote files. This can be used behind other APIs that need to access files agnostic to where they are located.

For remote files, cached-path supports several different schemes out-of-the-box in addition http and https, including s3 for AWS S3, gs for Google Cloud Storage, and hf for HuggingFace Hub. See cached_path.cached_path() for more details.

You can also extend cached-path to support other schemes with add_scheme_client().
