Aerospike Python Client - PyO3 + Rust binding

aerospike-py

Aerospike Python Client built with PyO3 + Rust. Drop-in replacement for aerospike-client-python powered by the Aerospike Rust Client v2.

Features

• Sync and Async (AsyncClient) API
• CRUD, Batch, Query, UDF, Admin, Index, Truncate
• CDT List/Map Operations, Expression Filters
• Full type stubs (.pyi) for IDE autocompletion

API details: docs/api/ | Usage guides: docs/guides/

Drop-in Replacement

Just change the import — your existing code works as-is:

- import aerospike
+ import aerospike_py as aerospike

config = {'hosts': [('localhost', 3000)]}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

key = ('test', 'demo', 'key1')
client.put(key, {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30})
_, _, bins = client.get(key)
client.close()

Quickstart

pip install aerospike-py

Sync Client

import aerospike_py as aerospike

with aerospike.client({
    "hosts": [("127.0.0.1", 3000)],
    "cluster_name": "docker",
}).connect() as client:

    key = ("test", "demo", "user1")
    client.put(key, {"name": "Alice", "age": 30})

    record = client.get(key)
    print(record.bins)      # {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}
    print(record.meta.gen)  # 1

    client.increment(key, "age", 1)
    client.remove(key)

Async Client

import asyncio
from aerospike_py import AsyncClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncClient({
        "hosts": [("127.0.0.1", 3000)],
        "cluster_name": "docker",
    }) as client:
        await client.connect()

        key = ("test", "demo", "user1")
        await client.put(key, {"name": "Bob", "age": 25})
        record = await client.get(key)
        print(record.bins)  # {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 25}

        # Concurrent operations
        tasks = [client.put(("test", "demo", f"item_{i}"), {"idx": i}) for i in range(10)]
        await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

asyncio.run(main())

Performance

Benchmark: 5,000 ops x 100 rounds, Aerospike CE (Docker), Apple M4 Pro

Operation	aerospike-py sync	official C client	aerospike-py async	Async vs C
put (ms)	0.140	0.139	0.058	2.4x faster
get (ms)	0.141	0.141	0.063	2.2x faster

Sync performance is on par with the official C client. Async throughput is 2.2-2.4x faster — the official C client has no Python async/await support (attempted and removed).

Why async matters

The official C client supports async I/O internally (libev/libuv/libevent), but its Python bindings cannot expose async/await — the attempt was abandoned and removed in PR #462. The only concurrency option with the C client is asyncio.run_in_executor() (thread pool, not true async).

aerospike-py provides native async/await via Tokio + PyO3, enabling asyncio.gather() for true concurrent I/O — critical for modern Python web frameworks (FastAPI, Starlette, etc).

For AI Agents

This project supports the llms.txt standard. Use the following prompt to give your AI agent full context about aerospike-py:

Fetch and read https://kimsoungryoul.github.io/aerospike-py/llms-full.txt to understand the aerospike-py Python client API, then write code based on that documentation.
