iequidoo e4d65b2f3b fix: Call send_sync_msg() only from the SMTP loop (#5780)
`Context::send_sync_msg()` mustn't be called from multiple tasks in parallel to avoid sending the
same sync items twice because sync items are removed from the db only after successful
sending. Let's guarantee this by calling `send_sync_msg()` only from the SMTP loop. Before
`send_sync_msg()` could be called in parallel from the SMTP loop and another task doing
e.g. `chat::sync()` which led to `test_multidevice_sync_chat` being flaky because of events
triggered by duplicated sync messages.

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. 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()
