# Kafka Python client

[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/mumrah/kafka-python.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mumrah/kafka-python)

[Full documentation available on ReadTheDocs](http://kafka-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)

This module provides low-level protocol support for Apache Kafka as well as
high-level consumer and producer classes. Request batching is supported by the
protocol as well as broker-aware request routing. Gzip and Snappy compression
is also supported for message sets.
