ThriftPy: https://github.com/eleme/thriftpy has been deprecated, ThriftPy2 aims to provide long term support.

Migrate from Thriftpy?

All you need is:

.. code:: python

import thriftpy2 as thriftpy

That's it! thriftpy2 is fully compatible with thriftpy.

Installation

Install with pip.

.. code:: bash

$ pip install thriftpy2

You may also install cython first to build cython extension locally.

.. code:: bash

$ pip install cython thriftpy2

Code Demo

ThriftPy make it super easy to write server/client code with thrift. Let's checkout this simple pingpong service demo.

We need a 'pingpong.thrift' file:

::

service PingPong {
    string ping(),
}

Then we can make a server:

.. code:: python

import thriftpy2
pingpong_thrift = thriftpy2.load("pingpong.thrift", module_name="pingpong_thrift")

from thriftpy2.rpc import make_server

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

server = make_server(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, Dispatcher(), '127.0.0.1', 6000)
server.serve()

And a client:

.. code:: python

import thriftpy2
pingpong_thrift = thriftpy2.load("pingpong.thrift", module_name="pingpong_thrift")

from thriftpy2.rpc import make_client

client = make_client(pingpong_thrift.PingPong, '127.0.0.1', 6000)
print(client.ping())

And it also supports asyncio on Python 3.5 or later:

.. code:: python

import thriftpy2
import asyncio
from thriftpy2.rpc import make_aio_client


echo_thrift = thriftpy2.load("echo.thrift", module_name="echo_thrift")


async def request():
    client = await make_aio_client(
        echo_thrift.EchoService, '127.0.0.1', 6000)
    print(await client.echo('hello, world'))
    client.close()

.. code:: python

import asyncio
import thriftpy2

from thriftpy2.rpc import make_aio_server

echo_thrift = thriftpy2.load("echo.thrift", module_name="echo_thrift")


class Dispatcher(object):
    async def echo(self, param):
        print(param)
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
        return param


def main():
    server = make_aio_server(
        echo_thrift.EchoService, Dispatcher(), '127.0.0.1', 6000)
    server.serve()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

See, it's that easy!

Features

Currently ThriftPy have these features (also advantages over the upstream python lib):

• Supports Python 2.7, Python 3.4+, PyPy and PyPy3.

• Pure python implementation. No longer need to compile & install the 'thrift' package. All you need is thriftpy2 and thrift file.

• Compatible with Apache Thrift. You can use ThriftPy together with the official implementation servers and clients, such as a upstream server with a thriftpy2 client or the opposite.

  Currently implemented protocols and transports:

  • binary protocol (python and cython)

  • compact protocol (python and cython)

  • json protocol

  • Apache JSON protocol compatible with apache thrift distribution's JSON protocol. Simply do from thriftpy2.protocol import TApacheJSONProtocolFactory and pass this to the proto_factory argument where appropriate.

  • buffered transport (python & cython)

  • framed transport

  • tornado server and client (with tornado 4.0)

  • http server and client

  • asyncio support (python 3.5 or later)

• Can directly load thrift file as module, the sdk code will be generated on the fly.

  For example, pingpong_thrift = thriftpy2.load("pingpong.thrift", module_name="pingpong_thrift") will load 'pingpong.thrift' as 'pingpong_thrift' module.

  Or, when import hook enabled by thriftpy2.install_import_hook(), you can directly use import pingpong_thrift to import the 'pingpong.thrift' file as module, you may also use from pingpong_thrift import PingService to import specific object from the thrift module.

• Easy RPC server/client setup.
