组内做大数据，需要kafka写入数据，最近在看python正好，练练手，网上找了一圈，都是用的pykafka，经过一整圈的安装，最终搞定，代码如下
#coding:u8
import sys
import time
import random
import datetime
import MySQLdb
import codecs
from pykafka import KafkaClient
import logging
import json
import threading
'''
******************
'''
ad=[]
try:
  ini=file("set.txt")
  ad=ini.readline().splitlines()
  ini.close
except Exception as e:
  print "open settings file Error:",type(e)
  ad=["192.168.1.121:9092"]
print "open ini file"
try:
  client = KafkaClient(hosts = ad[0])
  print "Topics:",client.topics
  topic  = client.topics["mytopic"]
except Exception as e:
  print "Opening kafka Error:%s" %(type(e))
  sys.exit(1)
print "before threading"


try:
  with tp.get_sync_producer() as producer:
    producer.produce(str(dct2))
 except Exception as e:
    print "Error:" ,type(e)


  print "ini consumer"
  while 1==1:
    print "nn",type(consumer)
    for message in consumer:
      print "mm"
      if message is not None:
        print message.offset, message.value
except Exception as e:
  print e,type(e)


运行结果，可以列出topic，写入的数据也没有报错信息。但是，消费者取不到数据，无论是kafka直接取，还是python写消费者代码。
后来采用了 kafkapython 正常，代码如下：


#coding:utf-8
import sys
import time
import random
import datetime
import codecs
import kafka.kafkaProducer
import logging
import json
import threading


ad=[]
try:
  ini=file("set.txt")
  ad=ini.readline().splitlines()
  ini.close
except Exception as e:
  ad=["192.168.1.121:9092,192.168.1.122.9092"]
  #print "open settings file Error:%d,%s" %(e.args[0],e.args[1])
  print "Opening settings file Error:",e,type(e)
print "Opened ini file"
'''
try:
  client = KafkaClient(hosts = ad[0])
  print "Topics:",client.topics
  topic  = client.topics["mytopic"]
except Exception as e:
  print "Opening kafka Error:%s" %(e.args[0])
  sys.exit(1)
print "before threading"
'''
try:
  producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=ad[0], value_serializer=lambda m: json.dumps(m).encode('utf-8'))
except Exception as e:
  print "Opening kafka Error:",e,type(e)
  sys.exit(1)




print "before threading"




threads=[]
for i in range(0,12):
  try:
    threads.append(threading.Thread(target=tf,args=(producer,i)))
    threads[i].start()
  except Exception as e:
    print "Treand error at Thread:%d:%s,%s" %(i,e,type(e))




print "main thread is ended"

代码均有所节略。
