+
+=====================
+Python Swift Examples
+=====================
+
+Create a Connection
+===================
+
+This creates a connection so that you can interact with the server:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	import swiftclient
+	user = 'account_name:username'
+	key = 'your_api_key'
+
+	conn = swiftclient.Connection(
+		user=user,
+		key=key,
+		authurl='https://objects.dreamhost.com/auth',
+	)
+
+
+Create a Container
+==================
+
+This creates a new container called ``my-new-container``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	container_name = 'my-new-container'
+	conn.put_container(container_name)
+
+
+Create an Object
+================
+
+This creates a file ``hello.txt`` from the file named ``my_hello.txt``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	with open('hello.txt', 'r') as hello_file:
+		conn.put_object(container_name, 'hello.txt',
+						contents= hello_file.read(),
+						content_type='text/plain')
+
+
+List Owned Containers
+=====================
+
+This gets a list of containers that you own, and prints out the container name:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	for container in conn.get_account()[1]:
+		print container['name']
+
+The output will look something like this::
+
+   mahbuckat1
+   mahbuckat2
+   mahbuckat3
+
+List a Container's Content
+==========================
+
+This gets a list of objects in the container, and prints out each
+object's name, the file size, and last modified date:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	for data in conn.get_container(container_name)[1]:
+		print '{0}\t{1}\t{2}'.format(data['name'], data['bytes'], data['last_modified'])
+
+The output will look something like this::
+
+   myphoto1.jpg	251262	2011-08-08T21:35:48.000Z
+   myphoto2.jpg	262518	2011-08-08T21:38:01.000Z
+
+
+Retrieve an Object
+==================
+
+This downloads the object ``hello.txt`` and saves it in
+``./my_hello.txt``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	obj_tuple = conn.get_object(container_name, 'hello.txt')
+	with open('my_hello.txt', 'w') as my_hello:
+		my_hello.write(obj_tuple[1])
+
+
+Delete an Object
+================
+
+This deletes the object ``hello.txt``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	conn.delete_object(container_name, 'hello.txt')
+
+Delete a Container
+==================
+
+.. note::
+
+   The container must be empty! Otherwise the request won't work!
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+	conn.delete_container(container_name)
+
