# Create a client and connect it to the cluster

try: client = aerospike.client(config).connect() except Exception as err: print(err) import sys print(“failed to connect to the cluster with”, config[‘hosts’]) sys.exit(1)

# Records are addressable via a tuple of (namespace, set, key)

key = (‘test’, ‘demo’, ‘foo’)

try:

# Write a record

client.put(key, { ‘name’: ‘John Doe’, ‘age’: 32 }) except Exception as e: import sys print(“error: {0}”.format(e), file=sys.stderr)

# Read a record

Are you running the server with Vagrant or in a Docker container? You may find these [vagrant](https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/connecting-to-server-when-running-vagrant-on-macos/3734) and [docker](https://dev.to/aerospike/getting-started-with-aerospike-enterprise-edition-on-docker-desktop-14i0) articles useful in connecting a client to the server (specifically the port forwarding part).
