[ANN] coming couchdbkit, more simplicity

[Benoit Chesneau]

The couchdbkit project has been started more than 4 years ago (somewhere

in december 2008), The first public release was in  2009 [1].

At that time I wanted a simple library enough fast and stable. Features

have been added on the fly depending on the needs of people around. But

today I'm feeling frustrated by it. I'm only using some features: the

client and the consumer changes and thinking some parts could be

improved a lot. So the next release aka couchdbkit R7  will be more

simpler.

The following modules will be put outside of the couchdbkit:

- couchdbkit.schema

- couchdbkit.ext.django

- couchdbkit.ext.pylons

- couchdbkit.wsgi

While I will accept patch on them (and merge the waiting one), I won't

support anymore these extensions. If someone want to maintain them, please

contact me so we can organize something.

The following part will be improved or added:

- Python 3 support

- The client will be more pythonic

- View streaming: It will be possible to handle views results in a

  streaming fashion and not having all the results in memory.

- Changes API will be simplified

- Aync worker, compatible with tornado and based on libuv

- New config module to manage COUCHDB config

- New user module to  manage users in couch (oauth support but also

  other things)

- New replicator watcher and scheduler. 

- Design documents support will be improved with revision management. 

- View server. This one will be available as an Erlang c-node and wil be

  handled like the Erlang native view server (instead of using the full

view protocol). So message passing won't be based on JSON .

- Querying and doc manipulations will also be improved

- new documentation based on sphinx

These features will come along with a new release of restkit which

bring more stability in TCP connections handling and also a cleaner and

simpler API supporting python 3.

The next release is planned for sometimes at the end of the month. Most

of the work come from works done for customers and actually need to be

merged.

If you have any questions please join me here or on #couchdbkit irc.

Also any help is appreciated ;)

Sometimes at the end of the month. Most of the code is waiting some rework in the HTTP handling that should be done this week :)

unfortunately gevent and event let don't support python3. But I am working on an api to make it compatible with offset and probably evergreen.
