Does Flink 1.2 support python in streaming programming?

Refter to the python programming guide online: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.2/dev/batch/python.html I didn't see any material related to streaming programming like kafka connector and so on.

Also from the git hub examples(https://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-examples/flink-examples-streaming), I didn't see python codes either.

If it does support python in streaming programming, could you show me some examples to start with?

Thanks!

There is an open PR for adding python support for the streaming API: github.com/apache/flink/pull/3838 I'm not entirely sure whether it works in its current state, but it is your best bet. - Chesnay Schepler

Maybe Flink 1.4 will support Python for streaming, you can see the recent PR FLINK-5886 - Python API for streaming applications.

No, Flink 1.2 does not support Python for streaming. Flink 1.3 doesn't support it either.
