Python wrappers for SciDB

Project description

SciDB-py is a full-featuered Python interface to SciDB. It’s goal is to allow users to utilize the power of SciDB from Python, using a familiar and intuitive numpy-like syntax. For more information, see the SciDB-Py Documentation.

Requirements

SciDB-Py requires a working SciDB installation, as well as a Shim network interface connected to the instance. It requires Python 2.6-2.7 or 3.3.

Package Dependencies

SciDB-Py has several Python package dependencies:

NumPy

tested with version 1.7.

Requests

tested with version 2.7. (Note: known failures exist when used with requests version < 2) Required for using the Shim interface to SciDB.

Pandas (optional)

tested with version 0.10. Required only for importing/exporting SciDB arrays as Pandas Dataframe objects.

SciPy (optional)

tested with versions 0.10-0.12. Required only for importing/exporting SciDB arrays as SciPy sparse matrices.

Test Dependencies

Mock

Required for some tests

Installation

NOTE for different versions of SciDB The master branch of this repository tracks the latest release of SciDB. To get a version of SciDB-Py that works with SciDB version 15.7 or older, choose the scidb15.7 branch.

Installation steps

The latest release of scidb-py can be installed from the Python package index:

pip install scidb-py

Install the development package directly from Github with:

pip install git+http://github.com/paradigm4/scidb-py.git

The latest release of scidb-py can be installed from the github “http://github.com/paradigm4/scidb-py”, “master” branch by downloading the code and typing:

python setup.py install

Depending on how your Python installation is set up, you may need root privileges for this.
