(#12537009)
I had to reimplement lots of client logic (error handling, consumer coordination via ZK) for Python one year ago, happy to see other clients getting more love.
Going to port to confluent-kafka-python this week now that we updated our cluster to Kafka 0.9. PS: you should try providing binary distributions (wheels), though. Having to build librdkafka + require GCC to pip install from source is not friendly. If there's any interest I can help on this (will have to do anyway).
