Kafka Python Next Generation Client

kafka-python-ng is a pure Python client for Apache Kafka, designed to function similarly to the official Java client, but with Pythonic interfaces. It provides high-level producer and consumer APIs, as well as admin functionality. The library is actively maintained, with frequent releases, and is compatible with Kafka brokers from version 0.8.0 up to 2.6+ (with optimal features for 0.9+). The current version is 2.2.3 and requires Python >=3.8.
