python-gearman

This is a Gearman API written in Python -- client, worker and admin client interfaces.

For information about Gearman and a C-based Gearman server, see http://gearman.org/.

This is a fork of the original Yelp/python-gearman project, which adds support for Python 3. You can use this library if you have an existing project that uses python-gearman and you want to upgrade to Python 3, but you probably shouldn't use it for a new project.

Installation

This library is published on PyPI as gearman3. You can install it using pip:

pip install gearman3

The library is tested with Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6.

Usage

This is a drop-in replacement for the 2.x python-gearman library. There are docs at https://pythonhosted.org/gearman/.

Development

I created this fork so we'd have a Python 3-compatible version of Gearman to use in Archivematica.

I'll accept bugfixes for improving compatibility with Python 3, but I'm unlikely to accept new features or changes to the library's behaviour. If you want to make big changes, I suggest creating your own fork.

New patches should come with tests and a release note.

See developers.rst for more notes on development, and in particular instructions for creating pull requests.
