-## Streaming
-Below are examples on how to get started with streaming in the python driver. For more information on streaming capabilities visit our [Streaming Documentation](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/reference/streaming_reference/)
+## Event Streaming
 
-There are two ways a stream can be initiated with the python driver:
-1. Obtaining a stream token by first issuing a fql query that returns a stream token and providing that to the client's stream method.
-2. Providing the stream method with a fql query that returns a stream token
-   1. In this case the stream method will first issue a request to obtain the stream token and then start the stream.
+The driver supports `Event Streaming <https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/streaming>`_.
 
-_Using a Stream Token_
-```python
-import fauna
+_Start a stream_
 
-from fauna import fql
-from fauna.client import Client, StreamOptions
+To get a stream token, append ``toStream()`` or ``changesOn()`` to a set from a
+`supported source
+<https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/reference/streaming_reference/#supported-sources>`_.
 
-client = Client()
-response = client.query(fql('''
+
+To start and subscribe to the stream, pass the stream token to
+``Client.stream()``:
+
+```python
+  from fauna import fql
+  from fauna.client import Client
+    
+  client = Client()
+    
+  response = client.query(fql('''
   let set = Product.all()
-  { 
+  {
     initialPage: set.pageSize(10),
-    streamToken: set.toStream() { name, price, category }
+    streamToken: set.toStream()
   }
   '''))
+    
+  initialPage = response.data['initialPage']
+  streamToken = response.data['streamToken']
   
-initialPage = response.data["initialPage"]
-streamToken = response.data["streamToken"]
-
-with client.stream(streamToken) as stream:
-  for event in stream:
-    print(event["type"])
-    print(event["data"])
-    eventType = event["type"]
-    if (eventType == "add"):
-      print("add event")
-      ## handle add event
-    elif (eventType == "update"):
-      print("update event")
-      ## handle update event
-    elif (eventType == "remove"):
-      print("remove event")
-      ## handle remove event
+  client.stream(streamToken)
 ```
 
-_Using the client stream method directly_
+You can also pass a query that produces a stream token directly to
+``Client.stream()``:
 
 ```python
-import fauna
+  query = fql('Product.all().changesOn(.price, .quantity)')
 
-from fauna import fql
-from fauna.client import Client
+  client.stream(query)
+```
 
-client = Client()
+_Iterate on a stream_
 
-with client.stream(fql(
-  'Product.all().where(.price > 50).toStream() { name, price, category }'
-)) as stream:
-  for event in stream:
-    print(event["type"])
-    print(event["data"])
-```
+``Client.stream()`` returns an iterator that emits events as they occur. You can
+use a generator expression to iterate through the events:
 
-_Stream events iterator_
+```python
+query = fql('Product.all().changesOn(.price, .quantity)')
 
-The stream method returns an iterator that can be used to provide the events as they happen.  See above examples for using the iterator to process events.
+with client.stream(query) as stream:
+  for event in stream:
+    eventType = event['type']
+    if (eventType == 'add'):
+      print('Add event: ', event)
+      ## ...
+    elif (eventType == 'update'):
+      print('Update event: ', event)
+      ## ...
+    elif (eventType == 'remove'):
+      print('Remove event: ', event)
+      ## ...
+```
 
 _Close a stream_
 
-Use the `<stream>.close()` method to close a stream.
+Use ``<stream>.close()`` to close a stream:
 
 ```python
-import fauna
-
-from fauna import fql
-from fauna.client import Client
-
-client = Client()
-
-events = []
+query = fql('Product.all().changesOn(.price, .quantity)')
 
-with client.stream(fql(
-  'Product.all().where(.price > 50).toStream() { name, price, category }'
-)) as stream:
+count = 0
+with client.stream(query) as stream:
   for event in stream:
-    print(event["type"])
-    print(event["data"])
-
-    events.append(event)
-    # Close the stream after 2 events
-    if len(events) == 2:
-      print("Closing the stream ...")
-      stream.close()
+    print('Stream event', event)
+    # ...
+    count+=1
+    
+    if (count == 2):
+       stream.close()
 ```
 
-_Error Handling_
+_Error handling_
 
-If a non retryable error occurs as part of stream processing, or when attempting to open a stream, a FaunaException will be raised. This can be handled as follows:
-```python
-import fauna
+If a non-retryable error occurs when opening or processing a stream, Fauna
+raises a ``FaunaException``:
 
+```python
 from fauna import fql
 from fauna.client import Client
 from fauna.errors import FaunaException

+_Stream options_
+
+The client configuration sets default options for the ``Client.stream()``
+method.
+
+You can pass a ``StreamOptions`` object to override these defaults:
+
+```python
+options = StreamOptions(
+  max_attempts=5,
+  max_backoff=1,
+  start_ts=1710968002310000,
