Pymantic

Semantic Web and RDF library for Python

Quick Start

>>> from pymantic.rdf import *
>>> from pymantic.parsers import turtle_parser
>>> from urllib2 import urlopen
>>> Resource.prefixes['foaf'] = Prefix('http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/')
>>> graph = turtle_parser.parse(urlopen('https://raw.github.com/norcalrdf/pymantic/master/examples/foaf-bond.ttl'))
>>> bond_james = Resource(graph, 'http://example.org/stuff/Bond')
>>> print "%s knows:" % (bond_james.get_scalar('foaf:name'),)
>>> for person in bond_james['foaf:knows']:
        print person.get_scalar('foaf:name')

Requirements

Pymantic requires Python 2.6 or higher. Lepl is used for the Turtle and NTriples parser. httplib2 is used for HTTP requests and the SPARQL client. simplejson and lxml are required by the SPARQL client as well.
