This is the official Python library for accessing DataSift.
We have recently performed a major update to this library. The previous version is available here. That version will be supported until 4th September 2014.
Install with pip:
pip install datasift
Install from source:
git clone https://github.com/datasift/datasift-python.git cd datasift-python python setup.py install
Full documentation is available at http://datasift.github.io/datasift-python
This version of the client library has been tested, and is known to work against the following language versions and Operating Systems:
- Python 2.6
- Python 2.7
- Python 3.3
- Python 3.4
- pypy 2.7
- Linux
- BSD
- OS X
- Windows 7/8
This code should conform to pep8, with the exception of E501, the 79 character line limit.
It can be style checked with the pep8 module by running pep8 --show-source --ignore=E501 datasift/*.py
Supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3, as well as pypy.
Uses requests, autobahn, six, twisted, pyopenssl and dateutil.
On non-Windows systems, the twisted and pyopenssl packages require the Python and OpenSSL development headers before they can be installed. These are usually provided by distribution package managers in a separate package to the main packages.
