  --dump-all-plugins, -dump-all-plugins
                        dump all plugins info into stdout

Configure Kong

Add the following line into kong.conf:

plugins=bundled,py-hello,py-image
pluginserver_names=go, py
pluginserver_py_socket=/usr/local/kong/python_pluginserver.sock
pluginserver_py_start_cmd=/usr/local/bin/kong-python-pluginserver -d /dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples
pluginserver_py_query_cmd=/usr/local/bin/kong-python-pluginserver -d /dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples --dump-all-plugins

For example, to test examples, clone kong-python-pdk to /dir/to/kong-python-pdk.

To use seperate instance for each plugin, use:

plugins=bundled,py-hello,py-image
pluginserver_names=go, py-hello, py-image

pluginserver_py_hello_socket=/usr/local/kong/py_hello.sock
pluginserver_py_hello_start_cmd=/dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples/py-hello.py
pluginserver_py_hello_query_cmd=/dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples/py-hello.py -d

pluginserver_py_image_socket=/usr/local/kong/py_image.sock
pluginserver_py_image_start_cmd=/dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples/py-image.py
pluginserver_py_image_query_cmd=/dir/to/kong-python-pdk/examples/py-image.py -d

Enable the plugin

Same step as it's a Lua plugin.

Notes

• All PDK API supported by Go Plugin Server is supported.
• If your plugins are CPU intensive, consider using multiprocessing mode (-m flag) or run the plugin instance in a seperate process (examples/py-hello.py as an example) to distribute workloads to multicore.
• If your plugins are I/O intensive, considering using gevent mode (-g flag) and use gevent libraries in the plugin.
