InteractionFree for Python

InteractionFree is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol based on ZeroMQ. It allows the developers to build their own distributed and cross-languige program easily. The protocol is config-less and extremly easy to use. Currently, Msgpack is used for binary serialization. InteractionFree implementation is already available in various languages (including Scala, Javascript, Arduino). More infomation will be available soon.

• InteractionFree specification: to be drafted.

Quick Start

Install

$ pip install interactionfreepy

Start the server

from interactionfreepy import IFBroker

broker = IFBroker('tcp://*:port')
IFLoop.join()

replace port to any port number that is available.

IFLoop.join() is a utility function to prevent the program from finishing.

Start a worker

from interactionfreepy import IFWorker

class Target():
    def tick(self, message):
        return "tack %s" % message

worker = IFWorker('tcp://address:port', 'TargetService', Target())
IFLoop.join()

replace address and port to the server's net address and port.

Start a client

from interactionfreepy import IFWorker

client = IFWorker('tcp://address:port')
print(client.TargetService.tick('now'))
