jomiel 1.0.2

Meta inquiry middleware for distributed systems

jomiel

jomiel is the meta inquiry middleware for distributed systems. It returns data about content on video-sharing websites (e.g. YouTube). Two technologies form the basis for jomiel:

• ZeroMQ (also known as ØMQ, 0MQ, or zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework

• Protocol Buffers is a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data

jomiel is a spiritual successor to (now defunct) libquvi.

Features

• Language and platform neutral. It communicates using Protocol Buffers and ZeroMQ. There are plenty of examples. Pick your favorite language.

• Secure. It can authenticate and encrypt connections using CURVE and SSH.

• Extensible. It has a plugin architecture.

Getting started

Install from PyPI:

pip install jomiel

Run from the repository:

git clone https://github.com/guendto/jomiel.git
cd jomiel
pip install -e .

Try sending inquiries to jomiel with:

• examples - the demo client programs written in most modern languages
• yomiel - the pretty printer for jomiel messages

Be sure to check out the HOWTO, also.
