What is Tarantool?

Tarantool is an in-memory computing platform originally designed by VK and released under the terms of BSD license_.

Features

• ANSI SQL, including views, joins, referential and check constraints

• Lua packages for non-blocking I/O, fibers, and HTTP

• MessagePack data format and MessagePack-based client-server protocol

• Two data engines:

  • memtx – in-memory storage engine with optional persistence
  • vinyl – on-disk storage engine to use with larger data sets

• Secondary key and index iterator support (can be non-unique and composite)

• Multiple index types: HASH, BITSET, TREE, RTREE

• Asynchronous master-master replication

• Authentication and access control

• Tarantool homepage_
• Tarantool on GitHub_
• Tarantool documentation_
• Client-server protocol specification_

NOTE ^^^^

This driver is synchronous, so connection mustn't be shared between threads/processes.

If you're looking for an asynchronous Python driver based on asyncio, consider using asynctnt . See also the feature comparison table.

Run tests ^^^^^^^^^

On Linux:

.. code-block:: bash

$ make test

On Windows:

• Setup a Linux machine with Tarantool installed. This machine will be referred to as remote in this instruction.
• (On remote) Copy test/suites/lib/tarantool_python_ci.lua to /etc/tarantool/instances.available.
• (On remote) Run tarantoolctl start tarantool_python_ci.
• Set the following environment variables:
  • REMOTE_TARANTOOL_HOST=...,
  • REMOTE_TARANTOOL_CONSOLE_PORT=3302.
• Run make test.
