This document describes how to set up your development environment to build and test the Valkey GLIDE Python wrapper.
The Valkey GLIDE Python wrapper consists of both Python and Rust code. Rust bindings for Python are implemented using PyO3, and the Python package is built using maturin. The Python and Rust components communicate using the protobuf protocol.
Before building the package from source, make sure that you have installed the listed dependencies below:
- python3 virtualenv
- git
- GCC
- pkg-config
- protoc (protobuf compiler) >= v3.20.0
- openssl
- openssl-dev
- rustup
For your convenience, we wrapped the steps in a "copy-paste" code blocks for common operating systems:
Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-venv git gcc pkg-config openssl libssl-dev unzip
# Install rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
# Check that the Rust compiler is installed
rustc --version
# Install protobuf compiler
PB_REL="https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases"
# For other arch type from x86 example below, the signature of the curl url should be protoc-<version>-<os>-<arch>.zip,
# e.g. protoc-3.20.3-linux-aarch_64.zip for ARM64.
curl -LO $PB_REL/download/v3.20.3/protoc-3.20.3-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.20.3-linux-x86_64.zip -d $HOME/.local
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"
# Check that the protobuf compiler is installed
protoc --version
CentOS
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y python3 git gcc pkgconfig openssl openssl-devel unzip
pip3 install virtualenv
# Install rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
# Check that the Rust compiler is installed
rustc --version
# Install protobuf compiler
PB_REL="https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases"
curl -LO $PB_REL/download/v3.20.3/protoc-3.20.3-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.20.3-linux-x86_64.zip -d $HOME/.local
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"
# Check that the protobuf compiler is installed
protoc --version
MacOS
brew update
brew install python3 git gcc pkgconfig protobuf@3 openssl virtualenv
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
# Check that the Rust compiler is installed
rustc --version
# Verify the Protobuf compiler installation
protoc --version
# If protoc is not found or does not work correctly, update the PATH
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf@3/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/$USER/.bash_profile
source /Users/$USER/.bash_profile
protoc --version
Before starting this step, make sure you've installed all software requirements.
mkdir -p $HOME/src
cd $_
git clone https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-glide.git
cd valkey-glide
GLIDE_ROOT=$(pwd)
protoc -Iprotobuf=${GLIDE_ROOT}/glide-core/src/protobuf/ \
--python_out=${GLIDE_ROOT}/python/python/glide \
${GLIDE_ROOT}/glide-core/src/protobuf/*.proto
cd python
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
maturin develop --release --strip
Note: to build the wrapper binary with debug symbols remove the
--strip
flag.
Note 2: for a faster build time, execute
maturin develop
without the release flag. This will perform an unoptimized build, which is suitable for developing tests. Keep in mind that performance is significantly affected in an unoptimized build, so it's required to include the--release
flag when measuring performance.
Ensure that you have installed redis-server
or valkey-server
along with redis-cli
or valkey-cli
on your host. You can find the Redis installation guide at the following link: Redis Installation Guide. You can get Valkey from the following link: Valkey Download.
From a terminal, change directory to the GLIDE source folder and type:
cd $HOME/src/valkey-glide
cd python
source .env/bin/activate
pytest --asyncio-mode=auto
To run modules tests:
cd $HOME/src/valkey-glide
cd python
source .env/bin/activate
pytest --asyncio-mode=auto -k "test_server_modules.py"
TIP: to run a specific test, append -k <test_name>
to the pytest
execution line
To run tests against an already running servers, change the pytest
line above to this:
pytest --asyncio-mode=auto --cluster-endpoints=localhost:7000 --standalone-endpoints=localhost:6379
During the initial build, Python protobuf files were created in python/python/glide/protobuf
. If modifications are made
to the protobuf definition files (.proto
files located in glide-core/src/protofuf
), it becomes necessary to
regenerate the Python protobuf files. To do so, run:
cd $HOME/src/valkey-glide
GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH=.
protoc -Iprotobuf=${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/glide-core/src/protobuf/ \
--python_out=${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/python/python/glide \
${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/glide-core/src/protobuf/*.proto
To generate the protobuf files with Python Interface files (pyi) for type-checking purposes, ensure you have installed mypy-protobuf
with pip, and then execute the following command:
cd $HOME/src/valkey-glide
GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH=.
MYPY_PROTOC_PATH=`which protoc-gen-mypy`
protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-mypy=${MYPY_PROTOC_PATH} \
-Iprotobuf=${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/glide-core/src/protobuf/ \
--python_out=${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/python/python/glide \
--mypy_out=${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/python/python/glide \
${GLIDE_ROOT_FOLDER_PATH}/glide-core/src/protobuf/*.proto
Development on the Python wrapper may involve changes in either the Python or Rust code. Each language has distinct linter tests that must be passed before committing changes.
Python:
- flake8
- isort
- black
- mypy
Rust:
- clippy
- fmt
