Hocuri 1379821b03 refactor: Move logins into SQL table (#6724)
Move all `configured_*` parameters into a new SQL table `transports`.
All `configured_*` parameters are deprecated; the only exception is
`configured_addr`, which is used to store the address of the primary
transport. Currently, there can only ever be one primary transport (i.e.
the `transports` table only ever has one row); this PR is not supposed
to change DC's behavior in any meaningful way.

This is a preparation for mt.

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

  1. Build deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server.
  2. Install tox pip install -U tox
  3. Run CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org 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
$ 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()
