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. Install it anywhere in your PATH.

Testing

1. Build deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server.
2. Run tox.

Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.

Using in REPL

It is recommended to use IPython, because it supports using await directly from the REPL.

PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" ipython
...
In  [1]: from deltachat_rpc_client import *
In  [2]: dc = Deltachat(await start_rpc_server())
In  [3]: await dc.get_all_accounts()
Out [3]: []
In  [4]: alice = await dc.add_account()
In  [5]: (await alice.get_info())["journal_mode"]
Out [5]: 'wal'
