This code is avaliable at PyPI as consul-reborn.

Original code belongs to Andy Gayton. And fork with community patches belongs to Carlos.

I don't like how it has been written but have no time for full refactoring, so I just fix issues that I crossed by. I do not fix CI or tests, sorry for that.

I'm using some of its functions in production, so it's not a complete junk.

Original Library Documentation

import consul

c = consul.Consul()

# poll a key for updates
index = None
while True:
    index, data = c.kv.get('foo', index=index)
    print data['Value']

# in another process
c.kv.put('foo', 'bar')

Alternatively you can create a client from the same environment variables that the consul command line client uses. e.g. CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR, CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN.

import consul

c = consul.Consul.from_env()

c.agent.self()

pip3 install consul-reborn
