IPC-Unix

CircleCI

Simple Inter-Process Communication using unix sockets for Python.

Note: Whilst mostly working, there's still some fairly common cases which haven't been tested. Use at your own risk until this message is removed.

Examples

For some more concrete examples, check out the tests/ directory.

Call / Response

from ipc_unix import Server, Client

class EchoServer(Server):
    def handle_request(self, request):
        return request

socket_path = '/tmp/sock.sock'
server = EchoServer(socket_path)
client = Client(socket_path)

print(client.send({"foo": "bar"}))
>>> {"foo": "bar"}

Pub-Sub

from ipc_unix import pubsub

socket_path = '/tmp/sock.sock'
publisher = pubsub.Publisher(socket_path)
subscriber = pubsub.Subscriber(socket_path)

publisher.write({"foo": "bar"})
print(self.subscriber.get_latest_message())
>>> {"foo": "bar"}

publisher.close()
subscriber.close()
