Hi, As in 0.9.0-SNAPSHOP, we begin to provide python client (generated by Thrift, PR#444).
Thrift will generate some .py files and these files play as a client library for python users. When releasing IoTDB, we have two files now: iotdb-source-release.zip, and iotdb-binary.zip. If we can provides these python files to users directly (rather than let users download the .thrift file and then compile it), it could be better. (I wonder to know do we call these pythons files as a "release" or a "distribution", as they are generated by Thrift). So, there are two choices, (1) When releasing IoTDB, beside providing the above two files, we can provide a new one: iotdb-{version}-python-client.zip (2) Upload the python files to some package managing service, like `pip` (similar with Maven Nexus), then users can get the python package using `pip install apache-iotdb-client`. If we want to upload to pip, is there any constraint from Apache? Best, ----------------------------------- Xiangdong Huang School of Software, Tsinghua University 黄向东 清华大学 软件学院
