调研方向

从 dropbox_client.py 第 533-539 行附近开始,这里 request body 被限制为 bytes;将该行为与链接的 Requests 流式传输和分块上传文档进行比较。确定 SDK 应如何接受类文件对象或生成器,同时记录重试和回退行为;当所选的上传形式在不受当前仅限 bytes 的限制下得到支持时,即视为完成。

描述

enhancement

Why is this feature valuable to you? Does it solve a problem you're having?
The requests library allows both streaming and chunked uploads (see https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#streaming-uploads and https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#chunk-encoded-requests). This has two benefits:

  1. It is sufficient to only load small parts of a file into memory before upload.
  2. It is possible to limit bandwidth usage by using a generator that provides chunks at a limited rate.

The Dropbox API of course already requires upload sessions (files/upload_session_start, files/upload_session_append and files/upload_session_finish) to upload files > 150 MB. However, this approach by itself does not replace chunked or streaming uploads because:

  1. The request body should be ideally >= 4 MB to reduce the total number of API calls (both for efficiency and to not exhaust data transport API call limits).
  2. Bandwidth control will be very coarse when performed on chunks of 4 MB compared for example 2 kB.
  3. Memory usage will still be larger compared to 1 kB or 2 kB chunks, especially for parallel uploads.

Describe the solution you'd like
Requests supports streaming uploads by passing a file-like object as the request body and chunked uploads by passing a generator as the request body. However, the Python SDK explicitly prevents both by requiring the request body to be of type bytes:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/9895d705317583cedb9fc11e5aa1f17f6bea303a/dropbox/dropbox_client.py#L533-L539

It would be good to either completely drop this limitation, with appropriate warnings in the doc string, or at least allow chunked uploads (where requests handles retry / rewind logic) even when disallowing streaming uploads.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not at present.
