🌪️ Twist

Fast and reliable distributed systems in Python.

Installation

Example

This example runs the server and client in the same Python program using subprocesses, but they could also be separate Python scripts running on different machines.

def server():
  import twist
  server = twist.Server(2222)
  server.bind('add', lambda x, y: x + y)
  server.bind('greet', lambda msg: print('Message from client:', msg))
  server.start()

def client():
  import twist
  client = twist.Client('localhost', 2222)
  future = client.add(12, 42)
  result = future.result()
  print(result)  # 54
  client.greet('Hello World')

if __name__ == '__main__':
  import twist
  server_proc = twist.Process(server, start=True)
  client_proc = twist.Process(client, start=True)
  client_proc.join()
  server_proc.kill()
  print('Done')
