puppetry

Remote objects, like puppet.

For a small project I need to communicate between two process. In one process I have a class which create an object. The other process should access the functions and variables of this object. The process play with the object like an puppetry.

Install

pip install puppetry

Basic usage

Example class:

class HelloWorld(object):

    def __init__(self, name=''):
        self.name = name

    def hello(self, name=None):
        if name: return 'Hello ' + name
        return 'Hello ' + self.name

Server:

from puppetry import RemoteServer

server = RemoteServer((HOST, PORT), obj=HelloWorld('world'))
server.start()

Client:

from puppetry import RemoteClient

client = RemoteClient((HOST, PORT))
print(client.hello())

client.name = 'puppetry'
print(client.hello())

See more examples in the example folder.
