is there a python client that supports the _changes API?
Hi.
I can't find a couchdb client that supports the _changes api.
Does anyone know more about that?

There was a problem in the past with httplib2. I don't use it anymore.

I don't want to be versus couchdb-python. Couchdbkit has lready its
own users and will differ a lot in the week coming. Good call for
ubuntu ppa anyway. I will see what I can do for this. Thanks for the
feedback.

Which is part of setuptools, which fights with distribute, both of which
ignore the operating system package manager. And of course each dependency
installed also tries to use one or more of distutils, setuptools, distribute
and whatever else their author thought of. (IIRC it wasn't couchdbkit
itself that failed to install but one of the dependencies which means
couchdbkit will not install.)

Count this as one. In any event it would take a lot of work to figure out
the root cause and fix it all. And bug reporting usually requires creating
yet another username and password on yet another site in yet another
different bug tracker interface. In my case (and I presume many others)
that high barrier means that I *really* want to have to use something before
reporting a bug.

Ubuntu provides a very nice and easy mechanism to supply packages (lookup
PPAs). If you want people to try couchdbkit versus python-couchdb then you
need to be at least as easy to install!

Yeah.
The only package manager needed is easy_install, never had any bug
report about it. It'as also used by some users around. I don't know
what the problem you had maybe if you have posted a bug report would
have solve it.

kage system.
Couchdbkit has been put in mandriva by their team, for debian, ubuntu
I guess I need to provide a package. Since I don't use them it it will
mostly depends if there is a demand for it.

I tried couchdbkit once but sadly was unable to install it due to ending up
in a twisty maze of incompatible Python packaging and distribution
solutions. python-couchdb is already packaged by Ubuntu so it was no hassle
to install and use. python-couchdb certainly has issues as do its
dependencies (httplib2) but something that actually installs always beats
something "better" that doesn't!
If you want people like me to use it then I suggest making some sort of self
contained bundle of couchdbkit plus all the dependencies that work together
and don't need various package managers.

If you are using the couchdb module (aka python-couchdb) then see
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=103 which is what I
use. The patch is actually a subclass. The one thing it won't work for is
continuous mode.

It's only possible via restkit. I guess I have a plan for this weekend

On plan of the weekend done. Couchdbkit has now a _changes consumer
integrated. You could find it in latest couuchdbkit tip on bitbucket.

Hi.
I'd definitely like an event based api, but for the time being a
blocking solution would be enough.
I missed that bit on couchdbkit docs, can you give some pointers?

what would you like to have ? Restkit/couchdbkit allow you to get
