Example
~~~~~~~
See `examples`_ directory in the project's repository for all available
examples.
Client
------
.. code-block:: python3
import asyncio
from grpclib.client import Channel
# generated by protoc
from .helloworld_pb2 import HelloRequest, HelloReply
from .helloworld_grpc import GreeterStub
async def main():
async with Channel('127.0.0.1', 50051) as channel:
greeter = GreeterStub(channel)
reply = await greeter.SayHello(HelloRequest(name='Dr. Strange'))
print(reply.message)
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())
Server
------
.. code-block:: python3
import asyncio
from grpclib.utils import graceful_exit
from grpclib.server import Server
# generated by protoc
from .helloworld_pb2 import HelloReply
from .helloworld_grpc import GreeterBase
class Greeter(GreeterBase):
async def SayHello(self, stream):
request = await stream.recv_message()
message = f'Hello, {request.name}!'
await stream.send_message(HelloReply(message=message))
async def main(*, host='127.0.0.1', port=50051):
server = Server([Greeter()])
# Note: graceful_exit isn't supported in Windows
with graceful_exit([server]):
await server.start(host, port)
print(f'Serving on {host}:{port}')
await server.wait_closed()
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
$ pip3 install "grpclib[protobuf]"
Bug fixes and new features are frequently published via release candidates:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip3 install --upgrade --pre "grpclib[protobuf]"
For the code generation you will also need a ``protoc`` compiler, which can be
installed with ``protobuf`` system package:
.. code-block:: console
$ brew install protobuf # example for macOS users
$ protoc --version
libprotoc ...
**Or** you can use ``protoc`` compiler from the ``grpcio-tools`` Python package:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip3 install grpcio-tools
$ python3 -m grpc_tools.protoc --version
libprotoc ...
**Note:** ``grpcio`` and ``grpcio-tools`` packages are **not required in
runtime**, ``grpcio-tools`` package will be used only during code generation.
``protoc`` plugin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to use this library you will have to generate special stub files using
plugin provided, which can be used like this:
.. code-block:: console
$ python3 -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpclib_python_out=. helloworld/helloworld.proto
^----- note -----^
This command will generate ``helloworld_pb2.py`` and ``helloworld_grpc.py``
files.
Plugin which implements ``--grpclib_python_out`` option should be available for
the ``protoc`` compiler as the ``protoc-gen-grpclib_python`` executable which
should be installed by ``pip`` into your ``$PATH`` during installation of the
``grpclib`` library.
Changed in v0.3.2: ``--python_grpc_out`` option was renamed into
``--grpclib_python_out``.
