The original pyrocksdb (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrocksdb/0.4) has not been updated for long time. I update pyrocksdb to support the latest rocksdb. Please open issues in github if you have any problem.
Python bindings for RocksDB. See http://pyrocksdb.readthedocs.org for a more comprehensive install and usage description.
Quick install for debian/ubuntu like linux distributions.
