jsonrpcproxy 0.5

Damn simple JSON-RPC client

Damn simple JSON-RPC client for Python

What is JSON-RPC

JSON-RPC is a protocor similar to XML-RPC, but simpler and very lightweight. There is no necessary to generate nor parse XML documents by using heavy librariers, and there are no dependencies.

For more information please read JSON-RPC v2.0 specification: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification

JSON-RPC implementations for Python

There are many implementations of JSON-RPC protocol in Python, mostly servers and clients in one package: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-RPC#Implementations

Why another JSON-package?

Some time ago I was searching small, reliable and simple client (just client!) for calling JSON-RPC services, without many (any) dependencies and without strange layers of wrappers, but with responses simplest as possible.

Finally I've found nothing like that, so I wrote my own.

Example

import jsonrpcproxy as rpc

calculator = rpc.Client('http://example.math.server/')

try:
    result = calculator.addNumbers(2,2)
except rpc.HttpError as e:
    print(e)
else:
    print("2 + 2 = %s" % result)

Goals for the stable release

• automatic tests
• handling connection errors
• documentation
• 100% implementation of the JSON-RPC v2.0 specification (batches)

Future

• Python 3 support
• further simplifications ;)
