Removing a relay now takes effect immediately: - the profile stops fetching and advertising it, - secondary devices immediately apply the removal through the transport sync, Upgrading removes unpublished relays and triggers keyupdates. BREAKING CHANGE: set_transport_unpublished() is removed: UIs call delete_transport() when the user removes a relay. BREAKING CHANGE: list_transports_ex() and the TransportListEntry type are removed: use list_transports(). BREAKING CHANGE: delete_transport() no longer refuses to remove the primary transport: it refuses only to remove the last one and re-elects the sending transport as needed. BREAKING CHANGE: TransportsModified is now also emitted on the device modifying the transports, not only on devices applying the synced change. Deprecated: DC_STR_PHASING_OUT
Delta Chat RPC python client
RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server
and provides asynchronous interface to it.
rpc.start() performs a health-check RPC call to verify the server
started successfully and will raise an error if startup fails
(e.g. if the accounts directory could not be used).
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. - Install tox
pip install -U tox - Run
CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=ci-chatmail.testrun.org PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.
Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.
Activating current checkout of deltachat-rpc-client and -server for development
Go to root repository directory and run:
$ scripts/make-rpc-testenv.sh
$ source venv/bin/activate
Using in REPL
Setup a development environment:
$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ python
>>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
>>> rpc = Rpc()
>>> rpc.start()
>>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
>>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
>>> system_info["level"]
'awesome'
>>> rpc.close()
