BERTRPC

A BERT-RPC client library for Python. A port of Tom Preston-Werner's Ruby library.

See the full BERT-RPC specification at bert-rpc.org.

This library currently only supports the following BERT-RPC features:

• call requests
• cast requests

Installation

Install from PyPI:

easy_install bertrpc

Examples

Import the library and create an RPC client:

import bertrpc
service = bertrpc.Service('localhost', 9999)

Make a call:

response = service.request('call').calc.add(1, 2)

Note that the underlying BERT-RPC transaction of the above call is:

-> {call, calc, add, [1, 2]}
<- {reply, 3}

In this example, the value of the response variable is 3.

Make a cast:

service.request('cast').stats.incr()

Note that the underlying BERT-RPC transaction of the above cast is:

-> {cast, stats, incr, []}
<- {noreply}

The value of the response variable is None for all successful cast calls.

Running the unit tests

To run the unit tests, execute the following command from the root of the project directory:

python tests.py
