KeyValueStore

✓ from simplekv import KeyValueStore

Base class for all stores.

RedisStore

✓ from simplekv.contrib.redis import RedisStore

Redis backend store.

S3Store

✓ from simplekv.contrib.s3 import S3Store

Amazon S3 backend store (boto3).

FilesystemStore

✓ from simplekv.fs import FilesystemStore

Local filesystem backend.

MongoStore

✓ from simplekv.contrib.mongo import MongoStore

MongoDB backend.

AzureBlockBlobStore

✓ from simplekv.contrib.azure import AzureBlockBlobStore

Azure Blob Storage backend (since 0.14.0).

Basic usage of RedisStore.

import os from simplekv.contrib.redis import RedisStore # Initialize store (assuming Redis running on localhost) store = RedisStore(host='localhost', port=6379) # Put a value store.put('key', b'value') # Get a value value = store.get('key') print(value) # Delete a value store.delete('key')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `keys()` method returns a generator in Python 3 (since 0.12.0), not a list. This is a change from earlier versions where it returned a list. Wrap with `list()` if you need a list.

fix

Use `list(store.keys())` to get a list.

affects: >=0.12.0

breakingIn version 0.14.0, the Azure backend switched to `azure-storage-blob` version 12. Old code using the old Azure SDK will break. The store class name is now `AzureBlockBlobStore`.

fix

Update dependencies to `azure-storage-blob>=12` and import `AzureBlockBlobStore`.

affects: >=0.14.0

gotchaThe `S3Store`'s `open()` method removed seek/tell support in version 0.11.7 due to leaking HTTP connections. If you rely on random access on S3 file-like objects, this will break.

fix

Do not use `seek()` or `tell()` on S3Store opened files; read sequentially or download the entire object.

affects: >=0.11.7

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named 'simplekv.contrib.redis'

The `redis` extra dependency is missing.

fix

Install simplekv with redis support: `pip install simplekv[redis]`

AttributeError: 'generator' object has no attribute 'sort'

`keys()` now returns a generator instead of a list (since 0.12.0).

fix

Convert to list: `list(store.keys()).sort()`

TypeError: can't pickle 'generator' objects

Trying to pickle the result of `keys()` (a generator) in multiprocessing context.

fix

Convert to list before passing to other processes: `list(store.keys())`
