socket-rpc 0.1.0

Microlib for socket RPC

socket_rpc

socket_rpc is a very simple microlib for remote procedure calls (RPC) over sockets in Python.

It exposes two functions:

• rpc - acts as a server for a Python RPC
• rpc_call - allows you to call a function, registered on another host with the rpc decorator.

Install with:

pip install socket_rpc

Quick server example

To expose a function over TCP, just decorate it with the rpc decorator:

import logging
import sys

import numpy as np

from socket_rpc import rpc


logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.DEBUG)


@rpc(host='localhost', port=61000, buffer_size=10 * 1024 * 1024)
def callback(np_arr: np.ndarray):
    print(np_arr.shape)

Quick call example

To call a function already exposed with the rpc decorator, just use the rpc_call function:

import numpy as np
from socket_rpc import rpc_call

send_np_arr = rpc_call(host='localhost', port=61000)

send_np_arr(np.arange(1111))
