laputa

A parallel computing framework for the stat_agg package based on Redis.

Description

laputa is a python package that provides an elastic, fault-tolerant, parallel computing foundation for the stat_agg (statistical aggregates) package.

Requirements

To use the laputa package you will need Python (tested on version 2.7), the redis python package, and a connection to an instance of Redis. For further information about Redis, see the homepage.

Installing laputa

The easiest way to install laputa uses pip in a shell:

> pip install -e git+https://github.com/kaneplusplus/laputa.git#egg=laputa

This package can also be installed with pip in a shell using the following commands:

> find . -name "*.pyc" -print | xargs rm
> pip uninstall laputa
> python setup.py sdist
> pip install dist/laputa-0.1.tar.gz

Using laputa

The laputa package should currently be considered "plumbing" for the stat_agg package. When the interface stabilizes and the features are expanded a more complete user's guide will be added.
