Supported Backends

Multiple backends are supported by default. And you can always roll out your own!

Installation

To install specific backends, install the corresponding extras. For example:

pip install python-kv[fs,redis]

Schemas

To access a specific backend, simplest is to use URLs. For example:

from kv import KV
kv = KV.of('file://path/to/folder')
