nanoservice is a small Python library for writing lightweight networked services using nanomsg

With nanoservice you can break up monolithic applications into small, specialized services which communicate with each other.

1. Make sure you have the nanomsg library installed:

$ git clone git@github.com:nanomsg/nanomsg.git
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install

For more details visit the official nanomsg repo

On OS X you can also do:

$ brew install nanomsg

2. Install nanoservice:

From project directory

$ make install

Or via pip

$ pip install nanoservice (it's broken)

The service:

from nanoservice import Service

def echo(msg):
    return msg

s = Service('ipc:///tmp/service.sock')
s.register('echo', echo)
s.start()

$ python echo_service.py

The client:

from nanoservice import Client

c = Client('ipc:///tmp/service.sock')
res, err = c.call('echo', 'hello world’)
print('Result is {}'.format(res))

$ python my_client.py
$ Result is: hello world

To run tests:

$ make test

To run benchmarks

$ make bench
