Python client for Consul (http://www.consul.io/)

py-consul

Fork intent

The origin project https://github.com/cablehead/python-consul is not maintained since 2018. As we're not able to get in touch with the maintainer (cablehead) to merge and release our PRs, we've forked the project in order to continue the maintenance of the project. We also renamed the project to be able to upload on pypi; see https://pypi.org/project/py-consul/

Example

    import consul

    c = consul.Consul()

    # poll a key for updates
    index = None
    while True:
        index, data = c.kv.get('foo', index=index)
        print data['Value']

    # in another process
    c.kv.put('foo', 'bar')

Installation

    pip install py-consul

Note: When using py-consul library in environment with proxy server, setting of http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy environment variables can be required for proper functionality.
