Hi all,
I just released the first version (0.1) of BlitzDB, an embeddable,
document-based database written entirely in Python. The software is
open-source and released under the MIT license, the code is available on
Github:
https://github.com/adewes/blitzdb
The documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs:
http://blitz-db.readthedocs.org
The database ships with a native, file-based backend that has no
external dependencies. In addition, it can be used as a wrapper around
third-party database engines such as MongoDB. Some more features:
* document-based, object-oriented interface
* powerful and rich querying language comparable to MongoDB
* deep document indexes on arbitrary fields
* compressed storage of documents
* support for multiple backends (e.g. file-based storage, MongoDB)
* support for database transactions (currently only for the file-based
backend)
The current, fully functional release is on PyPi
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blitzdb/0.1) and can be installed using
e.g. pip or easy_install:
pip install blitzdb
#or
easy_install blitzdb
The main motivation for writing this was to create an embeddable,
document-oriented database that I could use in my Python projects (e.g.
command line tools) without having to worry about setting up and
maintaining additional software or servers. The project is NOT intended
as a fully-fledged replacement for MongoDB or other document databases.
I would love to hear your feedback on this project and I'm actively
looking for contributors, so feel free to get in touch with me (you can
find my e-mail on Github).
Best regards
Andreas
