Python and HDFS

I need to use HDFS with Python. I have looked at Saptarshi's guide (
http://www.stat.purdue.edu/~sguha/code.html#hadoopy) but it mentions that
the method doesn't support writes. I need one which does.....any ideas?

Saptarshi is using libHDFS that has write APIs. you might need to update 
the swig file.
