API Reference¶

Serialization¶

Brine - A simple and fast serialization format for immutable data (numbers, string, tuples, etc.). Brine is the “over-the-wire” encoding format of RPyC.
Vinegar - A configurable serializer for exceptions. Vinegar extracts the exception’s details and stores them in a brine-friendly format.

IO Layer¶

Streams - The stream layer (byte-oriented, platform-agnostic streams)
Channel - The channel layer (framing and compression)

Protocol¶

Protocol - The RPyC protocol (Connection class)
Service - The RPyC service model
Netref - Implementation of transparent object proxies (netrefs)
Async - Asynchronous object proxies (netrefs)

Server-Side¶

Server - The core implementation of RPyC servers; includes the implementation of the forking and threaded servers.
Registry - Implementation of the Service Registry; the registry is a bonjour-like discovery agent, with which RPyC servers register themselves, and allows clients to locate different servers by name.
Authenticators - Implementation of two common authenticators, for SSL and TLSlite.

Client-Side¶

Factories - general-purpose connection factories (over pipes, sockets, SSL, SSH, TLSlite, etc.)
Classic - Classic-mode factories and utilities
Helpers - Various helpers (timed, async, buffiter, BgServingThread, etc.)

Misc¶

Zero-Deploy RPyC - Deploy short-living RPyC servers on remote machines with ease - all you’ll need is SSH access and a Python interpreter installed on the host
Splitbrain Python - Run code on the local machine, but have it operating on a remote one! The splitbrain context redirects all OS-level operations to the server, while “pure computation” remains on your local machine
