PyKafka

PyKafka is a full-featured, pure-Python client for Apache Kafka, which optionally uses a C extension (librdkafka) for improved performance. It supports Kafka versions 0.8.2 and newer, providing Pythonic implementations of Kafka producers and consumers. The library aims to offer a similar abstraction level to the JVM Kafka client. PyKafka is actively maintained, with the current stable version being 2.8.0, and typically releases updates as needed.
