For example, reader_loop() may die if readline() tries to read too large line and thows an exception. We want to at least log the exception in this case.
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
