Drift Protocol for Python

A Python Protobuf library to encode message in Drift infrastructure. It provides pre-generated Protobuf messages so that you don't need to install protobuf compiler and generate them yourself.

Features

• Protocol Buffer >=3.12.4 <= 3.20
• No Protobuf Compiler and generation needed

Install

You can install the library as a PIP package with prebuilt Protobuf messages:

pip install -U drift-protocol

if you want to build the messages on your machine you can install it from the git repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/panda-official/DriftProtocol.git#subdirectory=python

Usage example

Parsing a Drift package:

from drift_protocol.common import DriftPackage, DataPayload, StatusCode

some_blob_received_from_drift = "...."

package: DriftPackage = DriftPackage()
package.ParseFromString(some_blob_received_from_drift)

if package.statuse != StatusCode.GOOD:
    exit(-1)

for any_data in package.data:
    if any_data.Is(DataPayload.DESCRIPTOR):
        payload = DataPayload()
        any_data.Unpack(payload)

        data: bytes = payload.data
