Aerospike Python client version 5.0.0 was released on February 17, 2021.

This major release adds new features, improvements, bug fixes and updates the Aerospike C Client.

  • A bug affecting this version of the Python client has been identified. If your application does not use the Scan options priority , percent or Scan Policy fail_on_cluster_change , and are on Python 3.6+ you can safely upgrade to Python client 6.1.0. We strongly recommend that you do so at the earliest opportunity.
  • Python 3.5 support will be removed in an upcoming release.
  • Breaking Change: Python 2.7 and 3.4 support have been removed - see Incompatible API Changes for details.
  • Breaking Change: Aerospike Python client 5.x MUST be used with Aerospike server 4.9 or greater. If you see the error “-10, ‘Failed to connect’”, please make sure you are using server 4.9 or later - see Incompatible API Changes for details.
