Sample

This will retrieve a file from Truxton, print the name and hash as stored in the database then calculate a hash on the contents and print that.

import truxton
import shutil
from pathlib import Path

def add_file(parent_truxton_file, filename):
  source_file = open(filename, "rb")
  child = parent_truxton_file.newchild()
  child.name = Path(filename).name
  shutil.copyfileobj(source_file, child)
  source_file.close()
  child.save()
  return child

def main():
  t = truxton.create()
  file = t.getfileid("5ec2a123-74d6-5da7-0653-4e6800000000")
  child = add_file(file, "C:\decrypts\PlainText.txt")

if __name__ == "__main__":
