The original pyrocksdb (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrocksdb/0.4) has not been updated for long time. I update pyrocksdb to support the latest rocksdb. Please open issues in github if you have any problem.
Currently I am refactoring the code, and more features like TTL are coming soon. And the installation with cmake will be much more easily.
I have created a new branch(https://github.com/twmht/python-rocksdb/tree/pybind11) which provides the basic functions (put, get and delete) now. And the installtion is much more easily! you can try it if you encounter any installtion issues in the current version of python-rocksdb.
The branch is under development and will be released to PypI after I migrate most of the existing features.
Python bindings for RocksDB. See http://python-rocksdb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a more comprehensive install and usage description.
Quick install for debian/ubuntu like linux distributions.
