python-stdnet 0.3.1

A networked standard template library and ORM for python

A networked standard template library for python.

The data is owned by different, configurable back-end databases and it is accessed using a light-weight Object Relational Mapping (ORM) inspired by Django. The source code is hosted at google code while Documentation and Downloads are available via PyPi.

Backends

Backend databases provide the backbone of the library, while the Object Relational Mapping is the syntactic sugar. Currently the list of back-ends is limited to

• Redis. Requires redis-py.

• Local memory (planned). For testing purposes.

• CouchDB (planned). Requires couchdb-python.

• Memcached (maybe)

Only Redis is fully operational.

Object-relational mapping

The module stdnet.orm is a lightweight ORM. For example:

from stdnet import orm

class Author(orm.StdModel):
    name = orm.AtomField()

class Book(orm.StdModel):
    author = orm.ForeignKey(Author)
    title  = orm.AtomField()

Register models with backend:

orm.register(Author,'redis://localhost/?db=1')
orm.register(Book,'redis://localhost/?db=2')

Installing and Running

To install:

python setup.py install
pip install python-stdnet
easy_install python-stdnet

At the moment, only redis back-end is available, so to run tests you need to install redis. Once done that, launch redis and type:

python test.py
