Sample Thrift service using Flask application

Sample Flask application that works as Thrift service. While Thrift python library itself provide its own built-in application to handle the Thrift requests, this is just a small experiment I did.

This is based on @BeanYoung's. The client is using PHP.

Requirements

This sample is tested with

• GNU Make 3.81 (Or if you don't have, see simple commands in Makefile)
• Python 2.7
• Pip 8.0.0
• Virtualenv 14.0.0
• PHP 5.6

Important Files

There are three important files to see.

1. geometry.thrift is the Thrift definition for Point struct and distance calculator service.
2. application.py is the Flask application source code.
3. application.php is the PHP client source code.

Running The Sample

To initialize both Python and PHP service and client respectively, execute the makefile.

make init

To run the Python service, execute

make run-python

To run the PHP client, execute

make run-php
