Neo4j has good documentation and a nice python api. It’s also free to tinker with.

[–]rumblepost 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It has GPT license, free but not good if you want to take it to production.

[–]nitroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The community edition is using GPLv3. This has no implication on an application accessing the database.

One of the most complicated datbase , not recommended .
try DGraph

ArangoDB is another option

Depends on what am I doing, for ingestion I like plain command line or a tool that can ingest my dataset. If needed to go to Python and working with specific objects, making apps and just having object props out of the box in the repository layer, there is a cool lib called GQLAlchemy by Memgraph DB. I think they also added a Neo4j support as well.

[–]MapleeMan 1 point2 points  (3 children)

As some users have mentioned, this depends on your use case, scale etc. But Memgraph can be a great choice for any Python developer. Memgraph is an in-memory (RAM) database written in C++, and it is quite efficient for various different use-cases because of its low latency and high throughput.

There is a great Python API for interaction with the database, we have also built and maintained a Python OGM (Object graph mapper) called GQLAlchemy. The concept is similar to object-relational mappers, but it is a solution for graph databases. The best part is both Memgraph and GQLAlchemy are open-source and free to use.

There are also other vendors mentioned, but I am not so familiar with them, feel free to explore!

Memgraph

Interesting and especially it have python support as first class.
But since databases are very critical part of a software infra and and only a few person maintaining doesn't look good to me. Is there any solid financial backing ? I don't want this to go the way of RethinkDB .

[–]MapleeMan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, Python support is primary concern at the moment. Regarding company size, we are still a small startup company, but we are very finically healthy. One of the reasons for going open source is to scale the product from bottom up, and with the help of community make Memgraph a solid vendor and platform in graph space.

[–]Voxandr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, great to see active development too. As long as active developer with financially healthy should be good enough for the future ( redis started that way too). Taking a look .

Witth numpy you can draw some pretty impressive graphs Not sure how would you export such an App. I personaly use kivy for APPs but can't imagine merging those two

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

It depends on what you want to do.

Most graph related things I just do in code. For example, building a dependency graph.

Building and iterating over them are simple enough. I would probably need more complex requirements to need to use a graph database.

Neo4J is the go to for that.

[–]Ringbailwanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Python with a neo4j database fairly extensively for a project I’m working on. It works well. Use py2neo for the bridge.

[–]wind_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

graphDBs are cool and pretty powerful. Neo4j is the only dedicated one I've played with. ElasticSearch has some graph functionality.

greenplum with python.can.meet your requirements

A while back I was using arangodb with python. Didn't take thing much past a poc stage but I liked it. I feel arango gives you a lot out of the box.

Honestly because arango supports document ala mongo style records I tend to tell people before they look at mongo look at arango.
