The MonetDB MAPI and SQL client python API

Introduction

pymonetdb is a native python client API for monetDB. This API is cross-platform, and doesn’t depend on any monetdb libraries. It has support for python 2.5+, including Python 3 and PyPy and is Python DBAPI 2.0 compatible.

Note

Since June 2016 pymonetdb is now the official MonetDB Python API. It replaces the old python-monetdb code. pymonetdb should be a drop-in replacement for python-monetdb. The only thing that changes is the module name; change import monetdb into import pymonetdb.

Installation

To install the MonetDB python API run the following command from the python source directory:

$ python setup.py install

pymonetdb is also available on pypi:

$ pip install pymonetdb

That’s all, now you are ready to start using the API.
