pyrum 0.3.0

Python interface for Rumor - Eth2 networking shell

pyrum

Pyrum ("Py Rumor") is a Python interface to interact with Rumor, an Eth2 networking shell.

Usage

This interface maps async Python functions (built on Trio) to Rumor commands.

The mapping is simple:

• A command path is equal to a series of fields
• A command argument is equal to a call argument
• A command flag is equal to a call keyword argument, every _ in the keyword is replaced with -

Some examples:

host listen --tcp=9001
->
peer.listen(tcp=9001)

peer connect /dns4/prylabs.net/tcp/30001/p2p/16Uiu2HAm7Qwe19vz9WzD2Mxn7fXd1vgHHp4iccuyq7TxwRXoAGfc
->
peer.connect('/dns4/prylabs.net/tcp/30001/p2p/16Uiu2HAm7Qwe19vz9WzD2Mxn7fXd1vgHHp4iccuyq7TxwRXoAGfc')

Each of these calls returns a Call object:

• Wait for successful call completion by awaiting the my_call.
• Retrieve latest data from the my_call.data dict
• Individual data can be retrieved by calling await my_call.some_data_field() to get the respective data as soon as it is available.
• If you expect multiple occurrences of the data, you can await multiple times, or use async for item in my_call
