Get Public URL for File - Google Cloud Storage - App Engine (Python)

Question

Is there a python equivalent to the getPublicUrl PHP method?

$public_url = CloudStorageTools::getPublicUrl(\"gs://my_bucket/some_file.txt\", true);

It's not available, but I've filed a bug. In the meantime, try this:

import urlparse

def GetGsPublicUrl(gsUrl, secure=True):
  u = urlparse.urlsplit(gsUrl)
  if u.scheme == 'gs':
    return urlparse.urlunsplit((
        'https' if secure else 'http',
        '%s.storage.googleapis.com' % u.netloc,
        u.path, '', ''))

For example:

>>> GetGsPublicUrl('gs://foo/bar.tgz')
'https://foo.storage.googleapis.com/bar.tgz'
