Telepythy Service

This is the service library for Telepythy. This library has no dependencies, is supported on Python 2.7+ and 3.3+, and can be used to embed a Telepythy client or server into any environment.

To install, simply use:

$pip install telepythy-service

You can start the service directly on the command-line:

$ telepythy-svc [-c,--connect] '<host>:<port>'
$ telepythy-svc [-s,--serve] '<interface>:<port>'
# or
$ python -m telepythy ...

With no options, a server will start listening on the default interface and port: localhost:7373.

To embed a Telepythy service in your code, you can use any of the following functions:

import telepythy

# start a server thread
telepythy.start_server()

# or start a client thread
telepythy.start_client()

# or start a client/server directly (blocking), with optional arguments
telepythy.client(locals={'client': True}, address='localhost:7373')
telepythy.server(locals={'client': False}, address='localhost:1337')

See the <telepythy>/examples directory from the Telepythy repository for examples on how to embed the service into existing code.
