Package: ctodd-python-lib-kafka
Christopher H. Todd's Python Library For Interacting With KafkaThe ctodd-python-lib-kafka project is responsible for interacting with Apache Kafka. This includes producing and consuming records from topics, utilizing .avro format, and other tasks in creating event driven applications with Python.Table of ContentsDependenciesLibrariesExample ScriptsNotesTODODependenciesPython Packagesconfluent-kafka==0.11.6simplejson==3.16.0Librarieskafka_admin_helpers.pyThis library is used to interacting with Kafka Admin functionality.
