gRPC in 3 minutes (Python)

Background

For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from helloworld.proto and we'll be using a specific reference platform.

Prerequisites

  • Debian 8.2 "Jessie" platform with root access
  • git
  • python2.7
  • pip
  • Python development headers

Set-up

$ # install the gRPC Core:
$ sudo apt-get install libgrpc-dev
$ # install gRPC Python:
$ sudo pip install -U grpcio==0.11.0b1
$ # Since this "hello, world" example uses protocol buffers:
$ sudo pip install -U protobuf==3.0.0a3
$ # Clone the repository to get the example code:
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc
$ # Navigate to the "hello, world" Python example:
$ cd grpc/examples/python/helloworld

Try it!

  • Run the server

    $ python2.7 greeter_server.py &

  • Run the client

    $ python2.7 greeter_client.py
