Python pickling protocol over any network interface. Also provides a basic interface to implement your own serializing pipes.
This project was started and released in under 24 hours while I was on holiday break.
PicklePipe is available on PyPI can be installed with pip.:
$ python -m pip install picklepipeTo install the latest development version from Github:
$ python -m pip install git+git://github.com/SethMichaelLarson/picklepipe.gitIf your current Python installation doesn't have pip available, try get-pip.py
After installing PicklePipe you can use it like any other Python module. Here's a very simple demonstration of scheduling a single job on a farm.
import picklepipe
# Create a pair of connected pipes.
pipe1, pipe2 = picklepipe.make_pipe_pair(picklepipe.PicklePipe)
# Send an object in one end.
pipe1.send_object('Hello, world!')
# And retrieve it from the other.
obj = pipe2.recv_object(timeout=1.0)
assert obj == 'Hello, world!'
# Also can be used to send objects to remote locations!
import socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect(('host', 12345))
pipe = picklepipe.PicklePipe(sock)
pipe.send_object('Hello, world!')
pipe.close()The API Reference on readthedocs.io provides API-level documentation.
