Is there a good library for accessing HBase from Python? [closed]

I spent some time looking around, and all I could find is Jython. It's an option, but is there something that could be used in a more pythonesque (simpler) way?

What is Python HappyBase?

HappyBase is a developer-friendly Python library to interact with Apache HBase. HappyBase is designed for use in standard HBase setups, and offers application developers a Pythonic API to interact with HBase.

Stargate is still in the contrib part of the Hbase project while ThriftServer is maintained in core(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.thrift). Grab the HBase.thrift file from the repository and run

thrift --gen py HBase.thrift on it, shove the contents into wherever, and startup a thrift server. Stargate is very very slow. The HBase thrift still has some work to be done on it, however it is still being actively worked on

A couple of places to get started
