Overwriting ringbuffer for Python

A simple overwriting ringbuffer for Python, providing a continous strip of virtual memory over the ring trough Python C-API using mmap black magic. The put method is thread safe.

ToDo

A consumer get is not implemented at the moment. Please feel free to contribute!

Example

from ringnes import Ringbuffer
import numpy as num

# Capacity in bytes
cap = 4096 * 100
ring = Ringbuffer(capacity=cap)

data = num.arange(1002, dtype=num.int32)
for _ in range(20):
    ring.put(memoryview(data))


receive = num.frombuffer(ring, dtype=num.int32)[::-1]

Installation

Python development headers are required, that's it.

sudo apt-get install python3-dev
pip3 install git+https://github.com/miili/ringnes.git
