HSE Python Bindings

Heterogeneous-Memory Storage Engine bindings for Python.

Building

Dependencies

• Cython >= 0.29.21 (install from system repositories or PyPI)

---

hse-python is built using the Meson build system. In the event HSE is not visible to the hse-python build system, HSE will be fetched and built alongside hse-python.

meson setup build
meson compile -C build

Check the output of meson configure build or meson_options.txt for various build options.

Installation

From PyPI

python3 -m pip install hse

In this case, you may need to properly set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS according to your environment, since hse-python will have to be compiled from source behind the scenes.

From Build

The default install directory is /opt/hse¹. This can be overridden by configuring the build with either -Dprefix=$prefix or --prefix=$prefix.

meson install -C build

Additional References

Information on running test suites and contributing to hse-python is located in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Footnotes

1. You may have to configure your PYTHONPATH environment variable to allow the Python interpreter to see the hse-python module. This is almost surely the case if you do not change the default install prefix. ↩
