aiothrift

Asyncio implementation for thrift protocol, which is heavily based on thriftpy.

This project is still in early develop state and thus is not recommended for production usage.

Documentation: https://aiothrift.readthedocs.org/

Installation

$ pip install aiothrift

Usage example

Thrift file

service PingPong {
    string ping(),
    i64 add(1:i32 a, 2:i64 b),
}

Server

import asyncio
import thriftpy
from aiothrift.server import make_server

pingpong_thrift = thriftpy.load('pingpong.thrift', module_name='pingpong_thrift')

class Dispatcher:
    def ping(self):
        return "pong"

    async def add(self, a, b):
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        return a + b

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
server = loop.run_until_complete(
    make_server(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, Dispatcher(), ('127.0.0.1', 6000), loop=loop))
try:
    loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass
server.close()
loop.run_until_complete(server.wait_closed())
loop.close()

Client

import thriftpy
import asyncio
import aiothrift

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
pingpong_thrift = thriftpy.load('pingpong.thrift', module_name='pingpong_thrift')

async def go():
    conn = await aiothrift.create_connection(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, ('127.0.0.1', 6000), loop=loop, timeout=2)
    print(await conn.ping())
    print(await conn.add(5, 6))
    conn.close()

loop.run_until_complete(go())
loop.close()

Or use ConnectionPool

import thriftpy
import asyncio
import aiothrift

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
pingpong_thrift = thriftpy.load('pingpong.thrift', module_name='pingpong_thrift')

async def go():
    pool = await aiothrift.create_pool(pingpong_thrift.PingPong,
        ('127.0.0.1', 6000), loop=loop, timeout=2)
    async with pool.get() as conn:
        print(await conn.ping())
        print(await conn.add(5, 6))
    pool.close()
    yield from pool.wait_closed()

loop.run_until_complete(go())
loop.close()

It's just that simple to begin with aiothrift, and you are not forced to use aiothrift on both server and client side. So if you already have a normal thrift server setup, feel free to create an async thrift client to communicate with that server.
