A small & fast following/followers database.

Project description

friendlydb is a small & fast following/followers database written in Python. It can be either used directly from your Python code or over HTTP with small web API.

FriendlyDB isn’t meant to be a full user system; it should be used to augment an existing system to track relationships.

Usage

Using FriendlyDB from Python looks like:

from friendlydb.db import FriendlyDB

# Give Friendly a directory to work in.
fdb = FriendlyDB('/usr/data/friendly')

# Grab a user by their username.
daniel = fdb['daniel']

# Follow a couple users.
daniel.follow('alice')
daniel.follow('bob')
daniel.follow('joe')

# Check the following.
daniel.following()
# Returns:
# [
#     'alice',
#     'bob',
#     'joe',
# ]

# Check joe's followers.
fdb['joe'].followers()
# Returns:
# [
#     'daniel',
# ]

# Unfollow.
daniel.unfollow('bob')

# Check the following.
daniel.following()
# Returns:
# [
#     'alice',
#     'joe',
# ]

# Dust off & nuke everything from orbit.
fdb.clear()

Using FriendlyDB from HTTP looks like:

Contributions

In order for a contribution to be considered for merging, it must meet the following requirements:

  • Patch cleanly solves the problem

  • Added test coverage (now passing) to expose the bug & check for regression

  • If the behavior affects end-users, there must be docs on the changes

  • The patch/tests must be compatibly licensed with New BSD

The best way to submit contributions is by forking the project on Github, applying your changes on a new branch, pushing those changes back to GH & submitting a pull request through the GitHub interface.
