A Netflix Hystrix port to Python.

This is a work in progress, please feel free to help!

For more information see the [Netflix Hystrix] (https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki) Wiki documentation.

To know more see the [Netflix Hystrix] (https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-it-Works) Wiki How it works section documentation.

It's ALPHA version and only support launching a group of commands inside an executor pool.

• Execute synchronous commands.
• Execute asynchronous commands.
• Execute asynchronous commands and attach a callback.

It depends on [concurrent.futures] (https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html), new in Python version 3.2 and [enum] (https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/enum.html), new in Python version 3.4. It uses futures and enum34 backports to run in Python version 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4.

Create a virtualenv:

mkproject --python=<fullpath_to_python_3.2+> hystrix-py

Get the code:

git clone https://github.com/wiliamsouza/hystrix-py .

Install it:

python setup.py develop

The last command enter your code in "Development Mode" it creates an egg-link in your virtualenv's site-packages making it available on this environment sys.path. For more info see [setuptools development-mode] (https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode)

setup.py will handle test dependencies, to install development use:

pip install -e .[dev]

python setup.py test

Code to be isolated is wrapped inside the run() method of a hystrix.Command similar to the following:

from hystrix import Command

class HelloWorldCommand(Command):
    def run(self):
        return 'Hello World'

This command could be used like this:

command = HelloCommand()

# synchronously
print(command.execute())
'Hello World'

# asynchronously
future = command.queue()
print(future.result())
'Hello Wold'

# callback
def print_result(future)
     print(future.result())

future = command.observe()
future.add_done_callback(print_result)
