Bulbs
a Python persistence framework for graph databases
What is Bulbs?
Bulbs is a Python persistence framework for graph databases that supports Python 3 and Python 2.7 originally created by James Thornton.
It connects to several graph-database servers, including Neo4j Server and Rexster.
Neo4j Server is Neo4j's open-source REST server, and it is available as an Heroku Add On.
Rexster is a graph-database REST server optimized for recommendations. It is part of the TinkerPop stack and connects to any Blueprints-enabled graph database, including Neo4j, OrientDB, Dex, OpenRDF Sail, and TinkerGraph.
Bulbs supports pluggable back ends, and more native bindings are in the works.
Is it ready?
A preview release is out now, and I welcome feedback on how to improve it. The API will probably change somewhat until we hit 1.0.
What do I need?
- Neo4j Server, or
- Rexster
And a few Python libraries, such as ujson and httplib2.
Where are the docs?
The 0.3.x docs are now online at Bulbflow.com.
