Generated Protocol Buffer and gRPC files for Tinode

Generated Python code for gRPC client and plugins.

gRPC clients must implement rpc service Node, plugins must implement Plugin.

For a sample implementation of a command line client see tn-cli. For a partial plugin implementation see chatbot.

Installing

Install the package by executing

pip install tinode_grpc

Generating files

Don't modify included files directly. If you want to make changes, you have to install protobuffers tool chain and gRPC then generate the Python bindings from pbx/model.proto (your path to model.proto may be different):

python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I../pbx --python_out=. --pyi_out=. --grpc_python_out=. ../pbx/model.proto

The generated model_pb2_grpc.py imports model_pb2.py as a module instead of a package which is incompatible with python3 packaging system. Use ../pbx/py_fix.py to apply a fix. This is only needed if you want to repackage the generated files.
