SimRpc

Why SimRpc

all of the popular rpc framework today, is fast and stable.

but it is kind of not good enough for you to easily start. you have to accept all the rpc's definition,learn their structure, and you have to adapt your code to them.

so if you dont like them,and you havn't have other alternatives. may be SimRpc is suit for you

Intruction

SimRpc is an rpc tools for you to easily transfer your code to rpc service(both client-side and server-side),built on top of zeromq and msgpack.

• zeromq

  assures the message transfer extremely fast and stable

• msgpack

  enables the message blazing small

Usage

Your Original Code

class a:
    def minus(self, x, y):
        print("x+y=", x - y)
        return x - y
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

Client Side

1) start an client instance

from simrpc.client import SimRpcClient
rpc_client = SimRpcClient()

or maybe you want to start a specific address

from simrpc.client import SimRpcClient
rpc_client = SimRpcClient(server_address="tcp://localhost:6666")

the server_address is a zeromq address.

for more information you can refer to zeromq.

2) add @rpc_client.task decorator to your code

# response_only=True means you only want the result

class a:

    @rpc_client.task(response_only=True)
    def minus(self, x, y):
        print("x+y=", x - y)
        return x - y

# func=True means this is a funcion,not a class service

@rpc_client.task(response_only=True,func=True)
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

3) Use these functions as usual

a().minus(4,5,rpc_client=True)

you must point it out this a rpc client(as use rpc_client=True prameter), otherwise will use local code

Server Side

1) start an server instance

from server import SimRpcServer
server = SimRpcServer()

like client,you can also give specific addresses to server.

more ways of address(like ipc) are supported, you can refer to zeromq

2) register your service to server

• initial your class service as usual

service = a()
server.register(service)

• or you let server to initial your service(just pass your init arguments to server.)

settings = {
    "a": {
        "kwargs": {
            "name": "test"
        }
    }
}
service = a()
server.register(service)
# or you can have this class init with server
# server.register_with_init(cls_list=[a], settings=settings)

3) start your rpc server broker

server.start_broker()
# if you also want to start worker in process ,you could use server.run(),this will start a few workers.

# server.run()

with this broker,you can easily expand your service from both client-side and server-side

4) start more workers

# the same as above but without server.start_broker()
server.run()

For details,you can refer to examples
