             Summary: libhdfs++: Implement Python bindings
                 Key: HDFS-9758
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9758
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: James Clampffer


It'd be really useful to have bindings for various scripting languages.  Python would be a good start because of it's popularity and how easy it is to interact with shared libraries using the ctypes module.  I think bindings for the V8 engine that nodeJS uses would be a close second in terms of expanding the potential user base.

Probably worth starting with just adding a synchronous API and building from there to avoid interactions with python's garbage collector until the bindings prove to be solid.
