Python library for working with CouchDB.
This package currently encompasses four primary modules:
- couchdb.client: the basic client library
- couchdb.design: management of design documents
- couchdb.schema: a higher-level API for mapping between CouchDB documents and Python objects
- couchdb.view: a CouchDB view server that allows writing view functions in Python
It also provides a couple of command-line tools:
- couchdb-dump: Writes a snapshot of a CouchDB database (including documents, attachments, and design documents) to MIME multipart file
- couchdb-load: Reads a MIME multipart file as generated by couchdb-dump and loads all the documents, attachments, and design documents into a CouchDB database.
- couchdb-replicate: Can be used as an update-notification script to trigger replication between databases when data is changed.
Prerequisites:
- httplib2
- simplejson or cjson (or Python>=2.6, which comes with a simplejson-based JSON module in the standard library)
- Python 2.4 or later
- CouchDB 0.9.x or 0.10.x (earlier versions are unlikely to work as the interface is still changing)
