The kinetic-protocol python client. Requires Python 2.7.3 or higher. Python 3.x is not supported.

pip install kinetic

git clone https://github.com/Seagate/kinetic-py.git
cd kinetic-py
git submodule update --init
python setup.py develop

For devices with old firmware code:

git checkout 0.7.3
python setup.py develop

The tests need a Kinetic device to run. You can use the simulator available at https://github.com/Seagate/kinetic-java. To configure the test environment:

export KINETIC_HOST=192.168.0.20
export KINETIC_PORT=8123

Optionally you can point the tests to the simulator jar:

export KINETIC_JAR=kinetic-simulator-<currentversion>-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Then to run the tests:

python test/

from kinetic import Client
c = Client('localhost', 8123)
c.put('message','hello world')
print c.get('message').value

Should print out hello world

On a brand new system, you might be missing a few things. If you get an error saying setup tools not installed or missing. Check the python setuptools intallation guide. If you needed to installed that, chances are you are missing some requirements to install and compile eventlet on your system. On debian systems the quickest way is sudo apt-get install python-eventlet.
