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

Documentation — API reference, usage guides, integration examples

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 is on par with the official C client. Async is 2.2-2.4x faster via native Tokio async/await.
