sightingdb 0.0.6

The Python Client Library for SightingDB

SightingDB is a fast database to perform Sightings. It allows to count how many time someone has seen something, when was the first time, when was the last time etc.

This client library is an abstraction from the REST API.

Examples

To write 3 values:

import sightingdb
con = sightingdb.connection(host="localhost", apikey="changeme")
writer = sightingdb.writer(con)
writer.add("/key/namespace1", "pypi.org")
writer.add("/key/namespace1", "pypi.org")
writer.add("/key/namespace2", "example.com")
writer.commit()

We are counting, so pypi.org will have a count of 2.

To read 2 values, it is almost like writing but writer became reader and we fetch data to iterate on:

import sightingdb
con = sightingdb.connection(host="localhost", apikey="changeme")
reader = sightingdb.reader(con)
reader.add("/key/namespace1", "pypi.org")
reader.add("/key/namespace2", "example.com")
for i in reader.fetch():
    print(str(i))

And you will be all set to read all the values.
