Apache Dubbo for Python

---

Apache Dubbo is an easy-to-use, high-performance WEB and RPC framework with builtin service discovery, traffic management, observability, security features, tools and best practices for building enterprise-level microservices.

Dubbo-python is a Python implementation of the triple protocol (a protocol fully compatible with gRPC and friendly to HTTP) and various features designed by Dubbo for constructing microservice architectures.

• Serialization: Customizable(protobuf, json...)

Installation

Before you start, make sure you have python 3.11+ installed.

1. Install from source

   git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-python.git
   cd dubbo-python && pip install .

Getting started

Get up and running with Dubbo-Python in just 5 minutes by following our Quick Start Guide.

It's as simple as the code snippet below. With just a few lines of code, you can launch a fully functional point-to-point RPC service:

1. Build and start the server

   import dubbo
   from dubbo.configs import ServiceConfig
   from dubbo.proxy.handlers import RpcMethodHandler, RpcServiceHandler
   
   
   class UnaryServiceServicer:
       def say_hello(self, message: bytes) -> bytes:
           print(f"Received message from client: {message}")
           return b"Hello from server"
   
   
   def build_service_handler():
       # build a method handler
       method_handler = RpcMethodHandler.unary(
           method=UnaryServiceServicer().say_hello, method_name="unary"
       )
       # build a service handler
       service_handler = RpcServiceHandler(
           service_name="org.apache.dubbo.samples.HelloWorld",
           method_handlers=[method_handler],
       )
       return service_handler
   
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       # build service config
       service_handler = build_service_handler()
       service_config = ServiceConfig(
           service_handler=service_handler, host="127.0.0.1", port=50051
       )
       # start the server
       server = dubbo.Server(service_config).start()
   
       input("Press Enter to stop the server...\n")

2. Build and start the Client

   import dubbo
   from dubbo.configs import ReferenceConfig
   
   
   class UnaryServiceStub:
       def __init__(self, client: dubbo.Client):
           self.unary = client.unary(method_name="unary")
   
       def say_hello(self, message: bytes) -> bytes:
           return self.unary(message)
   
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       # Create a client
       reference_config = ReferenceConfig.from_url(
           "tri://127.0.0.1:50051/org.apache.dubbo.samples.HelloWorld"
       )
       dubbo_client = dubbo.Client(reference_config)
       unary_service_stub = UnaryServiceStub(dubbo_client)
   
       # Call the remote method
       result = unary_service_stub.say_hello(b"Hello from client")
       print(result)
