Sickle: An OAI Client Library for Python

Sickle is an OAI-PMH client library written in Python:

>>> sickle = Sickle('http://elis.da.ulcc.ac.uk/cgi/oai2')
>>> records = sickle.ListRecords(metadataPrefix='oai_dc')

Most importantly, Sickle lets you conveniently iterate through resumption batches without having to deal with resumptionTokens yourself:

>>> records.next()
<Record ...>
