decode-datastore-client

This library contains a minimal client library developed as part of the DECODE project in order to provide a Python client for the encrypted datastore component.

The purpose of this library is to enable a Python based client application to easily read from and write to the datastore.

The datastore API is implemented using a simple RPC framework called Twirp. This framework uses protocol buffers as a transport layer, and provides a suite of tools for generating server stubs as well as client bindings in a number of programming languages and can be thought of as being akin to a simpler version of GRPC.
