Python SDK Examples
- The Python client wraps the rust client.
- It currently does not support the administrator features that the rust client does.
- The PartitionConsumer.stream returns an object which implements the python iterator convention to allow for iterating over the stream in a for-loop.

Examples
Producer
Create the topic used to produce and consume records:
$ fluvio topic create python-data
Create a file called python-produce.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from datetime import datetime
from fluvio import Fluvio
TOPIC_NAME = "python-data"
PARTITION = 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
   # Connect to cluster
   fluvio = Fluvio.connect()
   # Produce 10 records to topic
   producer = fluvio.topic_producer(TOPIC_NAME)
   for x in range(10):
       producer.send_string("{}: timestamp: {}".format(x, datetime.now()))
   # Flush the last entry
   producer.flush()
Let's run the file:
$ python python-produce.py
Consumer
Create a file called python-consume.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from fluvio import Fluvio, Offset
TOPIC_NAME = "python-data"
PARTITION = 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
   # Connect to cluster
   fluvio = Fluvio.connect()
   # Consume last 10 records from topic
   consumer = fluvio.partition_consumer(TOPIC_NAME, PARTITION)
   for idx, record in enumerate( consumer.stream(Offset.from_end(10)) ):
       print("{}".format(record.value_string()))
       if idx >= 9:
           break
Let's run the file:
$ python python-consume.py
Example with a SmartModule
This is a 3 part example:
- Build a SmartModule that converts records to uppercase
- Add a Python script that uses the SmartModule
- Test the Python script
Python Script that uses a SmartModule
Create a file called smartmodule-consumer.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
from datetime import datetime
from fluvio import Fluvio, Offset, ConsumerConfig
TOPIC_NAME = "hello-python-smartmodule"
PARTITION = 0
# This is an example of a basic Fluvio workflow in Python
#
# 1. Create a topic to store data in via CLI
# 2. Establish a connection to the Fluvio cluster
# 3. Create a producer and send some bytes
# 4. Create a consumer, and stream the data back
if __name__ == "__main__":
   # Currently the Python client does not support creating topics
   # Using the Fluvio CLI
   os.popen("fluvio topic create {}".format(TOPIC_NAME))
   # Connect to cluster
   fluvio = Fluvio.connect()
   # Produce to topic
   producer = fluvio.topic_producer(TOPIC_NAME)
   producer.send_string("Hello World! - Time is: {}".format(datetime.now()))
   # Consume from topic
   # We're just going to get the last record
   consumer = fluvio.partition_consumer(TOPIC_NAME, PARTITION)
   # Create a ConsumerConfig using your "uppercase" smartmodule
   config = ConsumerConfig()
   config.smartmodule(name="uppercase")
   for record in consumer.stream_with_config(Offset.from_end(0), config):
       print("{}".format(record.value_string()))
       break
Test Python Script
Read to test the script:
$ python smartmodule-consumer.py
HELLO WORLD! - TIME IS: 2024-08-25 21:04:51.172045
