RebirthDB is the fork of RethinkDB which is the first open-source scalable database built for realtime applications. It exposes a new database access model -- instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell the database to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime. RebirthDB allows developers to build scalable realtime apps in a fraction of the time with less effort.

$ pip install rebirthdb

Note: this package is the extracted driver of RethinkDB's original python driver.

The main difference with the previous driver (except the name of the package) is we are not importing RebirthDB as r. If you would like to use RebirthDB's python driver as a drop in replacement, you should do the following:

from rebirthdb import RebirthDB

r = RebirthDB()
connection = r.connect(db='test')

Create a table, populate with data, and get every document.

from rebirthdb import RebirthDB

r = RebirthDB()
connection = r.connect(db='test')

r.table_create('marvel').run(connection)
marvel_heroes = r.table('marvel')
marvel_heroes.insert({
    'id': 1,
    'name': 'Iron Man',
    'first_appearance': 'Tales of Suspense #39'
}).run(connection)

for hero in marvel_heroes.run(connection):
    print(hero['name'])

To ensure python driver works with python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 we are using tox and pytest. For testing (depending on what you would like to test) you can run tox or pytest.
