Python driver for Fauna v4 (deprecated)

https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/fauna/faunadb-python/master.svg?maxAge=21600 https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/faunadb.svg?maxAge=21600 https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MPL_2.0-blue.svg?maxAge=2592000

** WARNING **

Fauna is decommissioning FQL v4 on June 30, 2025.

This driver is not compatible with FQL v10, the latest version. Fauna accounts created after August 21, 2024 must use FQL v10. Ensure you migrate existing projects to the official v10 driver by the v4 EOL date: https://github.com/fauna/fauna-python

See the v4 end of life (EOL) announcement and related FAQ.

The offical Python driver for Fauna v4

Installation

$ pip install faunadb

Compatibility

The following versions of Python are supported:

  • Python 3.6
  • Python 3.7
  • Python 3.8
  • Python 3.9
  • Python 3.10

Documentation

Driver documentation is available at https://fauna.github.io/faunadb-python/4.5.0/api/.

See the FaunaDB Documentation for a complete API reference, or look in tests for more examples.

Basic Usage

from faunadb import query as q
from faunadb.objects import Ref
from faunadb.client import FaunaClient

client = FaunaClient(secret="your-secret-here")

indexes = client.query(q.paginate(q.indexes()))

print(indexes)

Document Streaming

Fauna supports document streaming, where changes to a streamed document are pushed to all clients subscribing to that document.

The following section provides an example for managing a document stream.

The streaming API is blocking by default, the choice and mechanism for handling concurrent streams is left to the application developer:

from faunadb import query as q
from faunadb.objects import Ref
from faunadb.client import FaunaClient

client = FaunaClient(secret="your-secret-here")

coll = client.query(q.create_collection({"name":"sc"}))
doc  = client.query(q.create(coll["ref"], {"data":{"x": 0}}))

stream = None
def on_start(event):
    print("started stream at %s"%(event.txn))
    client.query(q.update(doc["ref"], {"data": {"x": "updated"}}))

def on_version(event):
    print("on_version event at %s"%(event.txn))
    print("    event: %s"%(event.event))
    stream.close()

def on_error(event):
    print("Received error event %s"%(event))
options = {"fields": ["document", "diff"]}
stream = client.stream(doc["ref"], options, on_start, on_error, on_version)
stream.start()

Observing Metrics

Its possible to observe each query's metrics by providing an "observer" callback.

More information on query metrics is available in the FaunaDB Documentation.

Here is a simple example:

from faunadb import query as q
from faunadb.client import FaunaClient
from faunadb.errors import FaunaError

# The observer callback, which takes the HTTP response for a query
def observe(response):
    h = response.response_headers
    print('bytesOut:', h["x-compute-ops"])
    print('queryTime:', h["x-query-time"])
    print('readOps:', h["x-byte-read-ops"])
    print('writeOps:', h["x-byte-write-ops"])
    print('retries:', h["x-txn-retries"])

# Connect to a local Fauna Dev instance
client = FaunaClient(
    secret="secret",
    domain="localhost",
    scheme="http",
    port=8443,
    observer=observe
)

try:
    result = client.query(
        q.paginate(q.collections())
    )
except FaunaError as err:
    print("err: ", err)
else:
    print(result)

Building it yourself

Setup

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install .

Testing

To run the tests you must have a FaunaDB database available. Then set the environment variable FAUNA_ROOT_KEY to your database's root key. If you use FaunaDB cloud, this is the password you log in with.

Tip: Setting the FAUNA_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable will set a timeout in milliseconds for all queries.

Then run make test. To test a single test, use e.g. python -m unittest tests.test_client.ClientTest.test_ping.

Tests can also be run via a Docker container with FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" make docker-test (an alternate Alpine-based Python image can be provided via RUNTIME_IMAGE).

Coverage

To run the tests with coverage, install the coverage dependencies with pip install .[coverage], and then run make coverage. A summary will be displayed to the terminal, and a detailed coverage report will be available at htmlcov/index.html.
