Python developer here. Here's my rant.

I've been using OrientDB (one of the leading Graph databases) for the last few months; it's been a horrible experience to get it working with Python, as the official Python OrientDB driver is essentially a very thin wrapper around the binary protocol.

Using Gremlin would actually be nice, and save me a lot of nasty queries, but it seems like there is no python ecosystem for it. The presentation mentions "Gremlin-Python". A quick Google search brings up these results:

1. "Bulbs" (http://bulbflow.com/download/) - it's a dead project, last commit being 10 months ago. Look at https://github.com/espeed/bulbs

2. "Gremlin-Python" - https://github.com/pokitdok/gremlin-python . Dead project (last commit 6 months ago), and requires one to install Jython.

I would love to know if I've missed something - did anyone get Python to nicely work with Gremlin?

I don't think no commits in 10 and 6 months is a very good indication of whether or not the projects are dead.

Assuming they just wrap other libraries, there's usually not much to screw up, so I wouldn't expect them to be heavily committed to, except for after a release of the underlying library.

For TinkerPop3, aiogremlin is probably the most current tooling for python/tinkerpop: https://github.com/davebshow/aiogremlin

I'm also needing graph db with Python. I thought I'd go with ArangoDB instead of OrientDB but the Arango python bindings also don't strike me as really stable. So now I'm thinking of using Blazegraph instead. The restful interface should be pretty easy from Python and I'm thinking SPARQL is actually going to be a much better query language for my end users.
