qPython is a Python library providing support for interprocess communication between Python and kdb+ processes, it offers:
- Synchronous and asynchronous queries
- Convenient asynchronous callbacks mechanism
- Support for kdb+ protocol and types: v3.0, v2.6, v<=2.5
- Uncompression of the IPC data stream
- Internal representation of data via numpy arrays (lists, complex types) and numpy data types (atoms)
- Supported on Python 2.7 and numpy 1.8
For more details please refer to the documentation.
qPython utilizes Cython to tune performance critical parts of the code.
Instructions:
- Execute:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Instructions:
- Execute:
python setup.py bdist
qPython uses py.test as a test runner for unit tests.
Instructions:
- Make sure that top directory is included in the
PYTHONPATH - Execute:
py.test
To run, qPython requires:
- numpy 1.8
To tune performance critical parts of the code, additional requirements have to be met:
- Cython 0.20.1
To run Twisted sample, qPython requires:
- Twisted 13.2.0
