Plyvel is a fast and feature-rich Python interface to LevelDB.
Plyvel’s key features are:
Rich feature set
Plyvel wraps most of the LevelDB C++ API and adds some features of its own. In addition to basic features like getting, putting and deleting data, Plyvel allows you to use write batches, database snapshots, very flexible iterators, prefixed databases, bloom filters, custom cache sizes, custom comparators, and other goodness LevelDB has to offer.
Friendly Pythonic API
Plyvel has a friendly and well-designed API that uses Python idioms like iterators and context managers (with blocks), without sacrificing the power or performance of the underlying LevelDB C++ API.
High performance
Plyvel executes all performance-critical code at C speed (using Cython), which means Plyvel is a good fit for high performance applications.
Extensive documentation
Plyvel comes with extensive documentation, including a user guide and API reference material.
Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility
Plyvel works with both Python 2 and Python 3, without any API differences.
