scidb4py

Pure python SciDB client library.

This library aims to provide access to SciDB server through native network protocol based on protobuf. It still on early stages of development, so do not expect complete features support and stable work :)

Any feedback and patches are welcome: https://github.com/artyom-smirnov/scidb4py/

Runtime dependencies

python >= 2.7 or pypy >= 1.8 (python 3 not supported yet)
python-protobuf >= 2.4
bitstring

Examples

Iterating through array item-by-item

from scidb4py import Connection
conn = Connection('localhost', 1239)
conn.open()
array = conn.execute("select * from array(<a:int32>[x=0:3,2,0], '[0,1,2,3]')")
for pos, val in array:
    print '%d - %d' % (pos['x'], val['a'])
conn.close()

Iterating through array chunk-by-chunk, item-by-item

from scidb4py import Connection
conn = Connection('localhost', 1239)
conn.open()
array = conn.execute("select * from array(<a:int32 null>[x=0:2,3,0, y=0:2,3,0], '[[1,2,3][4,5,6][7,8,9]]')")
while not array.end:
    while not array.chunk_end:
        print '%s - %s' % (array.get_coordinates(), array.get_item("a"))
        array.next_item()
    array.next_chunk()
conn.close()
