jsonrpc-requests: a compact JSON-RPC client library backed by requests

This is a compact (~100 SLOC) and simple JSON-RPC client implementation written while debugging a picky server.

Main Features

• Python 2.7 & 3.4 compatible
• Exposes requests options
• Supports nested namespaces (eg. app.users.getUsers())
• 100% test coverage

TODO

• Batch requests (http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#batch)

Usage

from jsonrpc_requests import Server
server = Server('http://localhost:8080')
server.foo(1, 2)
server.foo(bar=1, baz=2)
server.foo.bar(baz=1, qux=2)

A notification:

from jsonrpc_requests import Server
server.foo(bar=1, _notification=True)

Pass through arguments to requests (see also requests documentation)

from jsonrpc_requests import Server
server = Server('http://localhost:8080', auth=('user', 'pass'), headers={'x-test2': 'true'})

Pass through requests exceptions

from jsonrpc_requests import Server, TransportError
server = Server('http://unknown-host')
try:
    server.foo()
except TransportError as transport_error:
    print(transport_error.args[1]) # this will hold a `requests.exceptions.RequestException` instance

Tests

Install the Python tox package and run tox, it'll test this package with Python 2.7 and 3.4.
