AIO Gremlin

An asynchronous DSL for the Gremlin-Python driver

Licensed under the Apache Software License v2

aiogremlin is an asynchronous DSL based on the official Gremlin-Python GLV designed for integration with event loop based asynchronous Python networking libraries, including asyncio, aiohttp, and tornado. It uses the async/await syntax introduced in PEP 492, and is therefore Python 3.5+ only.

aiogremlin tries to follow Gremlin-Python as closely as possible both in terms of API and implementation. It is released according to the TinkerPop release schedule.

aiogremlin is built directly on top of TinkerPop and allows access to all of the internals. This ensures all the TinkerPop features are available to the end-user. The TinkerPop stack provides several tools which can be used to work with aiogremlin.

• Gremlin, a database agnostic query language for Graph Databases.
• Gremlin Server, a server that provides an interface for executing Gremlin on remote machines.
• a data-flow framework for splitting, merging, filtering, and transforming of data
• Graph Computer, a framework for running algorithms against a Graph Database.
• Support for both OLTP and OLAP engines.
• TinkerGraph a Graph Database and the reference implementation for TinkerPop.
• Native Gephi integration for visualizing graphs.
• Interfaces for most major Graph Compute Engines including Hadoop M/R. Spark, and Giraph.

aiogremlin also supports any of the many databases compatible with TinkerPop including the following.

• JanusGraph
• Titan
• Neo4j
• OrientDB
• MongoDB
• Oracle NoSQL
• TinkerGraph

Some unique feature provided by the Goblin OGM include:

• High level asynchronous Object Graph Mapper (OGM) - provided by goblin
• Integration with the official gremlin-python Gremlin Language Variant (GLV)
• Native Python support for asynchronous programing including coroutines, iterators, and context managers as specified in PEP 492
• Asynchronous Python driver for the Gremlin Server
• Async Graph implementation that produces native Python GLV traversals

Getting Started

import asyncio
from aiogremlin import DriverRemoteConnection, Graph


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()


async def go(loop):
  remote_connection = await DriverRemoteConnection.open(
    'ws://localhost:8182/gremlin', 'g')
  g = Graph().traversal().withRemote(remote_connection)
  vertices = await g.V().toList()
  await remote_connection.close()
  return vertices


vertices = loop.run_until_complete(go(loop))
print(vertices)
# [v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[5], v[6]]
