ZMQRPC
A Python library that exports a class for RPC via zmq, using BSON for data interchange.
Installation
zmqrpc is registered at pypi.
Install using pip or easy_install:
$> pip install zmqrpc
Prerequisites
Contributing and Enhancements
Go for it, fork away and fix it up. There's a lot of performance tweaks that can be made, this is very much 0.1
Most notably, I think the bson encoding should happen inside pyzmq.
Usage
A basic server:
This server will listen on TCP port 5000, and start 2 worker threads for the class Test
class Test(object):
def __init__(self):
self.count = 0
def test(self):
self.count += 1
return self.count
from zmqrpc.server import ZMQRPCServer, LISTEN, CONNECT
server = ZMQRPCServer(Test)
server.queue('tcp://0.0.0.0:5000',thread=True)
server.work(workers=2)
A basic client:
This client connects to our server, then runs the test() method 5000 times. It then prints the last output of rpc.test(), and pprint's the server status.
from zmqrpc.client import ZMQRPC
import sys
import pprint
rpc = ZMQRPC("tcp://127.0.0.1:5000",timeout=5)
for i in range(5000):
x = rpc.test()
print x
servers = rpc.__serverstatus__()
pprint.pprint(servers)
Usage Notes
This library is still very early. The API is likely to change.
