Zkproto is a project mainly written in Python, it's free.
ZooKeeper experimentation prototype
The goal of this effort is to play with Apache Zookeeper and see how well it works with Python and gevent. This is largely hacked together code.
A localhost Zookeeper is expected.
Create a virtualenv and source it::
$ virtualenv ~/zkproto_ve $ . ~/zkproto_ve/bin/activate
Install zkproto and dependencies into the virtualenv::
$ python setup.py develop
supervisord is used to manage the worker processes. Start it up from the zkproto source directory::
$ supervisord
Run the tests::
$ zkproto-trials
When you are done, kill supervisord::
$ supervisorctl shutdown
Using zookeeper with gevent takes some effort. I had to write a partial
wrapper client that marshals completion and watcher events to the gevent
thread using an os.pipe()
. If we use Zookeeper for real, this client will
need to be fleshed out and finished. (zookeeper_gevent.py)
