Is there a good library for accessing HBase from Python?

Question

I spent some time looking around, and all I could find is Jython. It's an option, but is there something that could be used in a more pythonesque (simpler) way?

Answer 1

You can try thrift python bindings but the project seems dead. I'd go with starting HBase REST server, and then using python standard libraries to access that RESTful web service.
