tokyocabinet aims to be a complete python wrapper for the ass-kicking Tokyo Cabinet database library by Mikio Hirabayashi (http://1978th.net/). While there are other wrappers out there none were found to be comprehensive enough. At present, the btree, hash and table APIs are available as hand-written C extensions. A similar effort is underway for the Tokyo Tyrant client API here: http://code.google.com/p/python-tokyotyrant-client/ Omissions, bugs, patches and feedback are greatly welcome. This package is written and maintained by Elisha Cook.
