archer 0.3

Archer is super easy to use

Save in a hello.py:

from archer import Archer
app = Archer(__name__)

@app.api('ping')
def ping():
    return 'pong'

Save in a hello.thrift:

service PingPong {
    string ping(),
}

Archer would find the thrift file for you, and relying on Thriftpy to generate code on the fly, and you don’t need to specify the service name(here is PingPong) in code as well.

And Easy to Setup

And run it:

$ pip install Archer
$ archer run
* Running on 127.0.0.1:6000/

Archer would find the app instance to start a dev server, and reload it when detecting changes on your python or thrift file.

Quick to get some feedback

Just run the command:

$ archer call ping

* pong

Use the client shell

Jump into shell with client at your hand:

$ archer client
>>> client.ping()

Pretty cool, eh!
