nanots 0.22.0

Python bindings for nanots embedded time series database

NanoTS

NanoTS is a super fast, embedded time series database (so, no server). It supports 1 writer per stream + an unlimited number of readers.

NanoTS chooses to pre-allocate its entire storage file, this has a number of advantages:

• You cannot fill up your servers disk with data. Set it up and forget about it
• We don't waste time & cpu creating and deleting files forever
• If you configure your writer with auto_reclaim=true (the default) you will always have the newest data
