Google Cloud Bigtable: Python¶
This library is an alpha implementation of Google Cloud Bigtable and is closely related to gcloud-python.
API requests are sent to the Google Cloud Bigtable API via RPC over HTTP/2. In order to support this, we’ll rely on gRPC. We are working with the gRPC team to rapidly make the install story more user-friendly.
Get started by learning about the
