keyten

Python bindings for Keyten, a compact Rust dataframe engine that keeps columnar data compressed through whole queries.

Queries stay lazy until collect(), then run entirely in the engine with the GIL released — predicate and projection pushdown, vectorized parallel execution, disk spilling for data bigger than memory, and native-table I/O all happen outside the interpreter.

Install

Keyten supports 64-bit Linux, macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon), and CPython 3.11 or newer. See the installation guide for exact wheel tags and source builds.

pip install keyten

A first query

import keyten as kt

trades = kt.DataFrame([
    kt.Series.string("sym", ["a", "b", "a", "b"]),
    kt.Series.int("qty", [1, 2, 3, 4]),
])

result = (
    trades.lazy()
    .filter(kt.col("qty") > 1)
    .with_columns((kt.col("qty") * 10).alias("q10"))
    .group_by("sym")
    .agg([
        kt.col("q10").sum(),
        kt.col("qty").count().alias("n"),
    ])
    .sort("sym")
    .collect()
)

print(result)

What's in the box

  • Expressions — arithmetic, comparisons, boolean logic, casts, string operations (substring, regex extract), value recoding, null/NaN shaping, and conditional if_else.
  • Aggregations — totals, extrema, sample moments, exact distinct counts, quantiles, and pairwise correlation, per group or whole-frame.
  • Windows — cumulative, fixed-row rolling, duration rolling, exponentially weighted, ranking, filling, and partitioned over(...) evaluation.
  • Joins — inner, left, semi, anti, and backward/forward/nearest asof joins with by-groups and tolerance.
  • Mutation — eager append, upsert, update, and delete; existing lazy plans retain their original snapshot.
  • Temporal kinds — dates, timestamps, and times are first-class, parse straight from CSV, and ride the integer encodings.
  • Sources — scan_csv (strict typed inference), scan_parquet (files or directories, statistics-pruned), and scan_native, the engine's own zero-copy, crash-safe table format.
  • Interop — Arrow PyCapsule import/export with no required Arrow library dependency.
  • Scale — out-of-core execution against a self-derived memory budget; nothing to configure.
  • Workers — serializable scans can execute remotely or scatter mergeable aggregation across a worker list.

The package ships typed stubs (py.typed), so editors and type checkers see the full API with docstrings.
