Hi Rugwiro,

Are you having a problem setting up PyDev or writing the code to interact
with Swift?

I'm not familiar with Python on Windows but assuming you're using pip you
can install the Swift Python bindings like this,

  pip install python-swiftclient

Here's some sample Python to carry out various operations,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from swiftclient.client import get_auth, put_object, put_container, \
    get_object, delete_object, delete_container

AUTH_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0'
USER = 'test:tester'
PASSWORD = 'testing'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # authenticate
    (url, token) = get_auth(AUTH_URL, USER, PASSWORD)

    # create a container
    container = "docs"
    put_container(url, token, container)

    # upload an object
    filename = "helloworld"
    obj_file = open('/tmp/%s' % filename)
    put_object(url, token, container, filename, obj_file)
    obj_file.close()

    # Download the object
    (headers, obj_contents) = get_object(url, token, container, filename)
    downloaded_obj = open('/tmp/%s_downloaded' % filename, 'w')
    downloaded_obj.write(obj_contents)
    downloaded_obj.close()

    # Delete the object
    delete_object(url, token, container, filename)

    # Delete the container
    delete_container(url, token, container)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
