This section introduces how to develop and pacakge Python Pulsar functions to use on StreamNative cloud.

​
Develop

StreamNative supports all features for the Python functions, please refer to: Develop Functions to learn how to develop a Python Function.

​
Package

Please refer to: Pacakge Python Functions

​
Deploy

After creating a cluster, set up your environment and develop&package your function, you can use the snctl, pulsarctl, pulsar-admin command, the REST API, or terraform to deploy a Pulsar function to your cluster. You can create a Python Pulsar function by using a local .py, .pip, or .zip file or an uploaded Pulsar functions package(recommend).

​
(Optional) Upload your function file to Pulsar

It’s recommend to upload your function file to Pulsar before you create a function. Since you can add a version suffix to the package.
Upload packages
snctl pulsar admin packages upload function://public/default/exclamation@v0.1 \
--path exclamation-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
--description "exclamation function" \
--properties fileName=exclamation-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
You should see the following output:
The package 'function://public/default/exclamation@v0.1' uploaded from path 'examples/api-examples.jar' successfully

​
Create

snctl pulsar admin functions create \
--tenant public \
--namespace default \
--name function1 \
--inputs persistent://public/default/test-python-input \
--output persistent://public/default/test-python-output \
--classname exclamation.ExclamationFunction \
--py function://public/default/py-exclamation@v0.1
--use-service-account
You should see something like this:
Created function1 successfully
For details about Pulsar function configurations, see Pulsar function configurations.
