Download from repository wget https://github.com/appscluster/arango-python/archive/master.zip 7z x master.zip ( if you don't have 7z : sudo apt-get install p7zip-full ) cd arango-python-master python setup.py install 

To start work with ArangoDB try following example:

from arango import create # create connection to database conn = create(db="test") conn.database.create() # create collection with name `test_collection` conn.test_collection.create() # create document conn.test_collection.documents.create({"sample_key": "sample_value"}) # get first document doc = conn.test_collection.documents().first # get document body doc.body # get all documents in collection for doc in conn.test_collection.query.execute(): print doc.id 

To use ArangoDB authentication via HTTP try following example:

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth from arango.clients.requestsclient import RequestsClient from arango.core import Connection import sys def ARDBconnect(): try: # Prepare Login for ArangoDB RequestsClient.config(auth=HTTPBasicAuth('arango_user', 'password')) # Login for ArangoDB db = Connection(db="test", client=RequestsClient) # Connect to the appropriate DB arango = db.version print 'Connected to ArangoDB version: ', arango.version return db except Exception, e: print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0], e.args[1]) sys.exit(1) # Create ArangoDB connection handle c = ARDBconnect() c = c.collection # Create a new collection c.test_collection.create() # Add a document to the collection c.test_collection.documents.create({"key": "value"}) # get first document doc = c.test_collection.documents().first # get document body doc.body # get all documents in collection for doc in c.test_collection.query.execute(): print doc.id 

To change or reset arangodb user account password:

# In terminal run arangosh # For improving security its a good idea to change the root account password # Once in arangosh run the following commands users = require("org/arangodb/users"); users.update("root", "the_new_password", true); users.reload(); quit # restart arangodb /etc/init.d/arangodb restart 

To enable arangodb authentication change the following 2 config files:

# 1. > /etc/arangodb/arangob.conf [server] disable-authentication = false # 2. > /etc/arangodb/arangod.conf # disable authentication for the admin frontend disable-authentication = no # restart arangodb for changes to take effect /etc/init.d/arangodb restart

• Added not a variable mode to V() (~V())

• Added support for multiple databases
