Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

#

properly, as opposed to...?

#

did pip install leveldb go wrong?

#

that library looks poorly maintained, just a note

#

last update was 5 years ago

#

are you really sure you want to use something like that?

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 8:54 AM

#

Why not sqlite?

#

Its built-in

#

as mentioned, its old and unmaintained. Why do you need leveldb?

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 8:55 AM

#

(sqlite is not a drop-in replacement for a key-value store which leveldb is)

#

I'm assuming that OP needs to connect to an existing LevelDB

#

why not use Valkey then?

#

do you want a relational database or a key-value store?

#

if you're starting a new project, I would recommend going with Valkey then

#

https://valkey.io/

#

.db doesn't say much

#

what format are these in?

#

wait, what?

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

hah I knew it!

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

I thought you said you wanted a key-value store

#

but sqlite is not a key-value store, it's a relational database

#

two entirely different categories of databases

#

oh, I see

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 9:00 AM

#

but you want to move these to... faster databases?

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 9:00 AM

#

to what end?

#

you can use the redis library with a Valkey server, or a Redis server of course, but Valkey is the open-source fork of Redis

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 9:01 AM

#

Settings are just one-off read and only needs to be written once in awhile. Not all the time. Why do you need speed for settings databases to key-value database?

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 9:02 AM

#

the project itself said it didn't know how to compile itself on Windows

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 9:02 AM

#

Just use valkey. Looks good

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 9:04 AM

#

I am wondering if Valkey will get its own Python library as Redis and Valkey start diverging in terms of features

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 9:07 AM

half sable I am wondering if Valkey will get its own Python library as Redis and Valkey sta...

!pip valkey isn't this it?

#

valkey v6.0.2

Python client for Valkey forked from redis-py

Released on <t:1726055645:D>.

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 9:08 AM

#

oh, there's already one!

#

good to know

#

last time I checked it didn't exist yet

clear wigeon Oct 3, 2024, 9:08 AM

#

First real release is in 13/08/2024. So its relatively new

half sable Oct 3, 2024, 9:10 AM

#

so @brave moon if you use a Valkey server, use the valkey library to connect to it

#

and not redis which I mentioned earlier
