Aerospike Python Client

Build Release Wheel Downloads License

Dependencies

The Python client for Aerospike works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 running on 64-bit OS X 10.9+ and Linux.

The client depends on:

  • Python devel package
  • OpenSSL
  • The Aerospike C client

RedHat 6+ and CentOS 6+

The following are dependencies for:

  • RedHat Enterprise (RHEL) 6 or newer
  • CentOS 6 or newer
  • Related distributions which use the yum package manager
sudo yum install python-devel
sudo yum install openssl-devel

Debian 6+ and Ubuntu 12.04+

The following are dependencies for:

  • Debian 6 or newer
  • Ubuntu 12.04 or newer
  • Related distributions which use the apt package manager
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

OS X

By default OS X will be missing command line tools. On Mavericks (OS X 10.9) and higher those can be installed without Xcode.

xcode-select --install # install the command line tools, if missing

OpenSSL can be installed through the Homebrew OS X package manager.

brew install openssl

Install

Aerospike Python Client can be installed using pip:

pip install aerospike

# to troubleshoot pip versions >= 6.0 you can
pip install --no-cache-dir aerospike

# to trouleshoot installation on OS X El-Capitan (10.11)
pip install --no-cache-dir --user aerospike

# to have pip copy the Lua system files to a dir other than /usr/local/aerospike/lua
pip install aerospike --install-option="--lua-system-path=/opt/aerospike/lua"

If you run into trouble installing the client on a supported OS, you may be using an outdated pip. Versions of pip older than 7.0.0 should be upgraded, as well as versions of setuptools older than 18.0.0. Upgrading pip on OS X El-Capitan (10.11) runs into SIP issues with pip install --user <module> as the recommended workaround.
