Varnish is a state-of-the-art, high-performance HTTP accelerator. For more information checkout Varnish Site
Varnish provides a simple telnet management interface for doing things like:
- reloading configurations
- purging URLs from cache
- view statistics
- start and stop the server
This Python API takes full advantage of the available commands and can run across multiple Varnish instances. Here are the features of this python module (compared to python-varnishadm)
- Uses
telnetlib
instead of raw sockets- Implements
threading
module- Can run commands across multiple Varnish instances
- More comprehensive methods, closely matching the management API (
purge_*
,vcl_*
, etc.)- Unittests
Example:
manager = VarnishManager( ('server1:6082', 'server2:6082') ) manager.run('ping') manager.run('ban.url', '^/secret/$') manager.run('ban.list') manager.run('purge.url', 'https://mydomain.com/articles/.*') manager.close()
Testing:
python runtests.py
