Minimal python RPC implementation in a single file based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 specs from http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification.

Minimal python RPC implementation in a single file based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 specs.

Usage

jsonrpyc.RPC instances basically wrap an input stream and an output stream in order to communicate with other services. A service is not even forced to be written in Python as long as it strictly implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 specs. A suitable implementation for NodeJs is node-json-rpc. A jsonrpyc.RPC instance may wrap a target object. Incomming requests will be routed to methods of this object whose result might be sent back as a response. Example implementation:

server.py

import jsonrpyc

class MyTarget(object):

    def greet(self, name):
    return "Hi, %s!" % name

jsonrpc.RPC(MyTarget())

async_client.py

import jsonrpyc
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

p = Popen(["python", "server.py"], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE)
rpc = jsonrpyc.RPC(stdout=p.stdin, stdin=p.stdout)

def cb(err, res=None):
    if err:
        throw err
    print("callback got: " + res)
rpc("greet", args=("John",))
# cb is called asynchronously which prints
# => "callback got: Hi, John!"

sync_client.py

import jsonrpyc
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

p = Popen(["python", "server.py"], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE)
rpc = jsonrpyc.RPC(stdout=p.stdin, stdin=p.stdout)

print(rpc("greet", args=("John",), block=0.1))
# => "Hi, John!"

Installation and dependencies
