This tutorial is intended to get you up and running using Gremlin / Apache Tinkerpop with Python. Basic knowledge of Python is assumed.

Do you already now Gremlin / Apache Tinkerpop?

If so you can continue with the preqrequisites part. Otherwise you might want to click on the Gremlin logo below.

There is also an explanation of Gremlin steps based on Java in this wiki.

This mini-tutorial is inspired by this stackoverflow question.

The goal is to get access to an apache tinkerpop/gremlin graph database via Python.

The examples in this tutorial have been tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and MacOS with a MacPorts environment as well as in the travis CI environment see https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/gremlin-python-tutorial.

Prerequisites

Java
Python
Gremlin-Server
Gremlin-Console (for debugging)

To get the preqequisites you can either follow the manual or script based installation below. The script based installation is quicker - the manual installation gives you more insight and control over the installation steps.

Manual Installation

Installing Java

There are many ways to install Java and your mileage may vary.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre 
java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_222"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_222-8u222-b10-1ubuntu1~18.04.1-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.222-b10, mixed mode)

Installing Python and Pip

We assume you'd like to work with python 3.7

sudo apt install python3.7
python --version
Python 3.7.3
sudo apt install python-pip
pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.7)

Installing Gremlin-Python

sudo -H pip install -r requirements.txt

Installing Gremlin Server and Console

http://tinkerpop.apache.org/downloads.html

Download Gremlin Server and optionally Gremlin Console and unzip the downloaded files.

Starting the Gremlin Server

cd apache-tinkerpop-gremlin-server-3.4.3
bin/gremlin-server.sh conf/gremlin-server-modern.yaml

See #Gremlin-Server_start for the expected result.

Starting the Gremlin Console

cd apache-tinkerpop-gremlin-console-3.4.3
bin/gremlin.sh

See #Gremlin-Console_start_.28for_debugging.29 for the expected result.

Script based installation

The "run" installation helper script tries to automate the necessary steps

Installation
Gremlin-Server start
Gremlin-Console start (for debugging)
Python script start

The following command should get you going:

git clone https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/gremlin-python-tutorial
./run -i
./run -s
# in another console
./run -p

Quick way to stop server

If you ran the server in foreground you can stop it with "CTRL-C" in the console where you started it. Otherwise you can simply kill the corresponding process e.g. with:

pkill -9 -fl gremlin-server

Gremlin-Console start (for debugging)

 ./run -c

starts the gremlin console

starting gremlin-console ...

Getting Started

The Apache Tinkerpop Getting Started tutorial assumes you are using the groovy console to try things out. We'll use these steps of the tutorial to show how the same traversals are available via gremlin-python.

The modern graph will be the basis for our first steps.

Gremlin-Python is just a Gremlin Language Variant - this means that the Graph Traversals are not executed in the Python enviroment but instead sent as "bytecode" to a server that will execute the traversal and sent back the result.

The first five minutes

test_tutorial.py is the relevant source code for this section.

g - the graph traversal

In the python environment to get the starting point "g" - the graph traversal you need to create a remote connection to a gremlin server. That's why we have to start the gremlin server e.g. with run -s from our automation script above. The gremlin server is configured to supply travesals for the "modern graph" example depicted above.

from gremlin_python.process.anonymous_traversal import traversal
from gremlin_python.driver.driver_remote_connection import DriverRemoteConnection

g = traversal().withRemote(DriverRemoteConnection('ws://localhost:8182/gremlin','g'))

In https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/gremlin-python-tutorial/blob/master/tutorial/remote.py there is a helper class "RemoteTraversal" which allows to read the server configuration from a yaml file. In the tutorial examples the above code is reduced to

# see https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/gremlin-python-tutorial/blob/master/test_001.py
from tutorial import remote

# initialize a remote traversal
g = remote.RemoteTraversal().g()

Steps 1 to 6

see https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/gremlin-python-tutorial/blob/master/test_002_tutorial.py

# http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/Gremlin_python#g.V.28.29_-_the_vertices
#gremlin> g.V() //(1)
#    ==>v[1]
#    ==>v[2]
#    ==>v[3]
#    ==>v[4]
#    ==>v[5]
#    ==>v[6]
def test_tutorial1():
  # get the vertices
  gV=g.V()
  # we have a traversal now
  assert isinstance(gV,GraphTraversal)
  # convert it to a list to get the actual vertices
  vList=gV.toList()
  # there should be 6 vertices
  assert len(vList)==6
  # the default string representation of a vertex is showing the id
  # of a vertex
  assert str(vList)=="[v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[5], v[6]]"

#gremlin> g.V(1) //(2)
#    ==>v[1]
def test_tutorial2():
   assert str(g.V(1).toList())=="[v[1]]"

#gremlin> g.V(1).values('name') //3
#  ==>marko
def test_tutorial3():
    assert str( g.V(1).values('name').toList())=="['marko']"

#     gremlin> g.V(1).outE('knows') //4
#    ==>e[7][1-knows->2]
#    ==>e[8][1-knows->4]
def test_tutorial4():
    assert str(g.V(1).outE("knows").toList()) == "[e[7][1-knows->2], e[8][1-knows->4]]"

#    gremlin> g.V(1).outE('knows').inV().values('name') //5\
#    ==>vadas
#    ==>josh
def test_tutorial5():
    assert str(g.V(1).outE("knows").inV().values("name").toList())=="['vadas', 'josh']"

#     gremlin> g.V(1).out('knows').values('name') //6\
#    ==>vadas
#    ==>josh
def test_tutorial6():
    assert str(g.V(1).out("knows").values("name").toList())=="['vadas', 'josh']"

Connecting to Gremlin enabled graph databases

According to the Gremlin Wiki page there are few different graph databases out there that support Gremlin/Apache Tinkerpop. We'll try to connect to a few of these using gremlin-python.
