Ice for Python
Examples | Documentation | API Reference | Building from source
The Ice framework provides everything you need to build networked applications, including RPC, pub/sub, server deployment, and more.
Ice for Python is the Python implementation of the Ice framework.
Sample Code
// Slice definitions (Greeter.ice)
module VisitorCenter
{
/// Represents a simple greeter.
interface Greeter
{
/// Creates a personalized greeting.
/// @param name The name of the person to greet.
/// @return The greeting.
string greet(string name);
}
}
# Client application (main.py)
import Ice
import asyncio
import getpass
import sys
import VisitorCenter
async def main():
async with Ice.Communicator(sys.argv, eventLoop=asyncio.get_running_loop()) as communicator:
greeter = VisitorCenter.GreeterPrx(communicator, "greeter:tcp -h localhost -p 4061")
greeting = await greeter.greetAsync(getpass.getuser())
print(greeting)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
# Server application (main.py)
import Ice
import chatbot
import sys
def main():
with Ice.Communicator(sys.argv) as communicator:
adapter = communicator.createObjectAdapterWithEndpoints("GreeterAdapter", "tcp -p 4061")
adapter.add(chatbot.Chatbot(), Ice.Identity(name="greeter"))
adapter.activate()
print("Listening on port 4061...")
try:
communicator.waitForShutdown()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Caught Ctrl+C, exiting...")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
# Greeter implementation (chatbot.py)
import VisitorCenter
class Chatbot(VisitorCenter.Greeter):
def greet(self, name: str, current: Ice.Current) -> str:
print(f"Dispatching greet request {{ name = '{name}' }}")
return f"Hello, {name}!"
