pysophia is a Python (CFFI based) library wrapping the Sophia library.

Sophia is a modern embeddable key-value database designed for a high load environment.

It has unique architecture that was created as a result of research and rethinking of primary algorithmical constraints, associated with a getting popular Log-file based data structures, such as LSM-tree.

NOTE: pysophia is still in early development, not all features all implemented yet, see below.

• Cursors
• Transactions
• Maybe some of the options from sp_ctl

The entire API is contained in a single class, unsurprisingly, Sophia.

Creating (or opening an existing) database:

db = Sophia('myDB', flags=Sophia.FL_CREAT|Sofia.FL_RDWR)

Setting a value for a given key:

db.set('foo', 'bar')

Getting the value assigned to a key:

db.get('foo')

Deleting a key:

db.delete('foo')

Closing the database, all further operations will raise an exception:

db.close()
