pykafka’s balanced consumer is very useful. pykafka also has Python bindings to the librdkafka C library that you can optionally enable, which might get you some speed boosts.
python-kafka (oh, I just saw this 0.9x version, hm!) was better at producing than pykafka for us, so we am currently using pykafka for consumption, and python-kafka for production. python-kafka allows you to produce to multiple topics using the same client instance.
