The influxdb-python library is a Python client for interacting with InfluxDB, a time series database. It allows developers to collect, store and query data in a structured format. The library provides an object-oriented interface to interact with InfluxDB, including creating connections, writing points, querying data, and managing databases. With the influxdb-python library, developers can easily integrate InfluxDB into their Python applications, making it easier to build real-time monitoring systems, IoT applications, and other use cases that require time series data storage and analysis. The library is well-maintained by a community of volunteers and provides additional functionality such as SeriesHelper and DataFrameClient, which provide convenience features for writing points in bulk and integrating with PANDAS and DataFrames.
