MessagePack RPC for Python

MessagePack RPC implementation based on Tornado 453 builtin for use with if Jupyter is installed . This may not be the best solution, but for me it solves the issue. Can now use jupyterlab and notebook together with msgpack-rpc-python. The example works. It is hard to interrupt the server side tho...

forked from https://github.com/johnnewto/msgpack-rpc-python

To use it, just clone it and checkout. Remove any existing installation of msgpack-rpc-python: pip uninstall msgpack-rpc-python

Install msgpack-rpc-python with integrated tornado from the local directory in which you cloned my fork, for example when you are currently in this directory: pip install .

pip uninstall msgpack-rpc-python
pip install git+https://github.com/StableKite/msgpack-rpc-python.git

or

% python setup.py install

• msgpack-python (>= 0.3)
• tornado (>= 3)

import msgpackrpc

class SumServer(object):
    def sum(self, x, y):
        return x + y

server = msgpackrpc.Server(SumServer())
server.listen(msgpackrpc.Address("localhost", 18800))
server.start()

import msgpackrpc

client = msgpackrpc.Client(msgpackrpc.Address("localhost", 18800))
result = client.call('sum', 1, 2)  # = > 3

In test directory:

% PYTHONPATH=../ python test/test_msgpackrpc.py

Run with timeout test (Timeout test takes about 5 seconds)

% PYTHONPATH=../ python test/test_msgpackrpc.py --timeout-test

OS: Mac OS X ver 10.8.3
CPU: Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Test code are available in example directory(bench_client.py and bench_server.py).

• Add advanced return to Server.
• UDP, UNIX Domain support
• Utilities (MultiFuture, SessionPool)
