Pure python implemention of Apache Thrift.
Project description
ThriftPy is a pure python implemention of Apache Thrift in a pythonic way.
Documentation: https://thriftpy.readthedocs.org/
Installation
Install while pip
$ pip install thriftpyYou may also install cython first to build cython extension locally.
$ pip install cython thriftpyCode Demo
ThriftPy make it super easy to write server/client code with thrift. Let’s checkout this simple pingpong service demo.
We need a ‘pingpong.thrift’ file:
service PingPong {
string ping(),
}
Then we can make a server:
from thriftpy.rpc import make_server
import pingpong_thrift
class Dispatcher(object):
def ping(self):
return "pong"
server = make_server(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, Dispatcher(), '127.0.0.1', 6000)
server.serve()And a client:
from thrift.rpc import make_client
import pingpong_thrift
client = make_client(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, '127.0.0.1', 6000)
client.ping()See, it’s that easy!
You can refer to ‘examples’ and ‘tests’ directory in source code for more usage examples.
Features
Currently ThriftPy have these features (also advantages over the upstream python lib):
Supports python2.7 to python3.4 and pypy.
Compatiable with Apache Thirft. You can use ThriftPy together with the official implemention servers and clients, such as a upstream server with a thriftpy client or the opposite.
(Currently only binary protocol & buffered transport were implemented.)
Can import thrift file as normal py modules. The sdk code is generated on the fly.
For example, import pingpong_thrift will import the ‘pingpong.thrift’ file as module
Pure python, standalone implemention. No longer need to compile & install the ‘thrift’ package. All you need is python and thrift file.
Easy RPC server/client setup.
