pyrex-rocksdb 0.1.1a0

A fast RocksDB wrapper for Python using pybind11.

pyrex

a python rocksdb wrapper

Motivation

rocksdb python wrappers are broken. This is yet another attempt to create a working python wrapper for rocksdb.

Example usage:

Check the test.py file.

Installation

On Linux/macOS: Open your terminal, navigate to the parent directory of my_rocksdb_wrapper, and run:

Build and Use the Wrapper: After saving the files, follow these steps to build and use your Python wrapper:

Prerequisites:

• RocksDB C++ Library Installed (headers and libraries accessible). (in Ubuntu sudo apt-get install librocksdb may suffice)

• C++11 compatible compiler (e.g., g++ or clang++).

• Python 3.7+ and its development headers.

• Python pybind11 package: pip install pybind11

Python setuptools package: pip install --upgrade setuptools

Adjust setup.py (if needed):

Open setup.py and verify that include_dirs and library_dirs correctly point to your RocksDB installation paths. If RocksDB is not in /usr/local/include or /usr/local/lib, update these paths.

If RocksDB was built with specific compression libraries (like Snappy, Zlib, LZ4, Zstandard), add their corresponding names (e.g., 'snappy', 'z') to the libraries list.

Compile the Wrapper: Navigate to the directory containing rocksdb_wrapper.cpp and setup.py in your terminal, and run:

# build with pyproject.toml (uses setup.py for some programmatic parts)
pip install build
python -m build

For PyPi compatible build

Either rely on the CICD/Actions to work, or use a local .toml:

cibuildwheel --platform linux --config-file pyproject_localbuild.toml
