[jira] [Commented] (TINKERPOP-2294) Gremlin-Python usability and tutorial

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16941557#comment-16941557 ] 

Wolfgang Fahl commented on TINKERPOP-2294:
------------------------------------------

14 days and many hours of effort later we are at none of the options working see [http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/Gremlin_python#Connecting_to_Gremlin_enabled_graph_databases]

 

For me this is a clear indicator that there is a *big need*  for improvement. There seems to be a small number of selected few who get things working. I would love to see their examples and projects as a basis to find out what needs to be done in general to make the same success possible for a wider audience. On the gremlin-user list there has not been much response to the tutorial yet. On stackoverflow [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/gremlinpython] starts catching on - people start using that tag. Still i think gremlin-python is far from a useability state that I'd personally consider acceptable.

> The Gremlin-Python environment is not useable "out of the box" at this time and hard to configure. It needs a specially configured gremlin-server for each use case.
> The handling of the server configuration and startup could be simplified if it would be done by some kind of API instead of the YAML file. Especially it is important to make graph io available to be able to create python specific tutorials that are based on typical databases.  The handling of typical backend database configurations should be simplified.
