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

Install from PyPI:

easy_install bertrpc

Import the library and create an RPC client:

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

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.

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.

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

python tests.py
