Delta Chat RPC python client
RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server
and provides asynchronous interface to it.
Getting started
To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server
or download a prebuilt release.
Install it anywhere in your PATH.
Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.
$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:
$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .
Testing
- Build
deltachat-rpc-serverwithcargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server. - Run
PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.
Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.
Using in REPL
Setup a development environment:
$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
It is recommended to use IPython, because it supports using await directly
from the REPL.
$ pip install ipython
$ PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" ipython
