radical-rpc 0.1.5

About

Radical is a RPC library that allows you to have cross-service communication out of the box.

It can serve as a replacement for Celery.

Radical has out-of-the-box integration with Django and also supports asyncio, but can be used without it.

Radical is easily extensible with custom transports and serializers.

Default and recommended transport is Redis.

Default and recommended serializer is Pickle. JSON serializer is also included.
