Modern pure python [CouchDB](https://couchdb.apache.org/) Client.

Currently there are several libraries in python to connect to couchdb. **Why one more?**

It's very simple.

All seems not be maintained, all libraries used standard Python libraries for http requests.

## Advantages of py-couchdb

- Use [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/) for http requests (much faster than the standard library)

- CouchDB 2.x and CouchDB 3.x compatible

- Also compatible with pypy.

Example:

```python

>>> import pycouchdb

>>> server = pycouchdb.Server("http://admin:admin@localhost:5984/")

>>> server.info()['version']

'1.2.1'

```

## Installation

To install py-couchdb, simply:

```bash

pip install pycouchdb

```

## Documentation

Documentation is available at http://pycouchdb.readthedocs.org.

## Test

To test py-couchdb, simply run:

``` bash

pytest -v --doctest-modules --cov pycouchdb

```
