Build Aerospike Python Client

Dependencies

The Aerospike Python client depends on:

  • The Aerospike C client
  • Lua 5.1.5
  • Python devel Package

The Aerospike Python Client works on Python 2.6., 2.7.

RedHat 6+ and CentOS 6+

The following are dependencies for:

  • RedHat Enterprise (RHEL) 6 or newer
  • CentOS 6 or newer
  • and related distributions using yum package manager.

Dependencies

sudo yum install lua-devel python26-devel
sudo yum install python-devel # on CentOS 7 and variants

Debian 6+ and Ubuntu 12.04+

The following are dependencies for:

  • Debian 6 or newer
  • Ubuntu 12.04 or newer
  • and related distributions using apt-get package manager.

Dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev liblua5.1-dev

Mac OS X

The Python development and build tools are included with Mac OS X.

We recommend building Lua from source. To download the source code and build the library, follow the instruction provided in the Lua section of the Aerospike C Client Installation Guide

Build

To build the library:

python setup.py build --force

Install

To install the library:

sudo python setup.py install --force

Note If you have already installed the Aerospike C Client and it is on your linker path you can build using:

AEROSPIKE_LUA_PATH="path/to/lua-core/src" NO_RESOLVE_C_CLIENT_DEP=True python setup.py {build,install} --force

Examples

Note If you did not install the library, then you will need to setup your PYTHONPATH environment variable. The PYTHONPATH should contain an entry for the directory where the Python module is stored. This is usually in build/lib.*.

Examples are in the examples directory. The following examples are available:

  • kvs.py — Key-Value Store API Example
  • query.py — Query API Example
  • scan.py — Scan API Example
  • info.py — Info API Example
  • simple.lua — Simple UDF Example

Each example provides help/usage information when you specify the --help option. For example, for help on the kvs.py example, then run:

python examples/client/kvs.py --help

Running Examples

Simply call python with the path to the example

python examples/client/kvs.py
