deploying functions made easy

Firefly
-------

Firefly is a tool to expose Python functions as RESTful APIs.

Install
~~~~~~~

It can be installed using pip.

..code:: bash

$ pip install firefly-python

Usage
~~~~~

Write a python function:

..code:: python

# sq.py
def square(n):
return n*n

And run it with firefly:

..code:: bash

$ firefly sq.square
[2017-06-08 12:45:11 +0530] [20237] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.7.1
[2017-06-08 12:45:11 +0530] [20237] [INFO] Listening at: http://127.0.0.1:8000 (20237)
...

Firefly provides a simple client interface to interact with the server.

..code:: python

>>> from firefly.client import Client
>>> client = Client("http://127.0.0.1:8000")
>>> client.square(n=4)
16

Or, you can use the API directly:

..code:: bash

$ curl -d '{"n": 4}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/square
16
