CouchDB-Python Library

Note: CouchDB-Python is no longer being maintained. After 8 years of maintaining CouchDB-Python, I no longer have time to address open issues and new bug reports. Consider https://github.com/cloudant/python-cloudant as an alternative. If you're interested in taking over maintenance of CouchDB-Python, please start a discussion on the mailing list, or open an issue or PR.

A Python library for working with CouchDB. Downloads are available via PyPI. Our documentation is also hosted there. We have a mailing list.

This package currently encompasses four primary modules:

  • couchdb.client: the basic client library
  • couchdb.design: management of design documents
  • couchdb.mapping: 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:

  • Python 2.7, 3.4 or later
  • CouchDB 0.10.x or later (0.9.x should probably work, as well)

simplejson will be used if installed.
