Python gRPC Chat

Chat application created with gRPC. This was a study for bidirectional gRPC streaming.

Server

        This is a response-stream type call. This means the server can keep sending messages
        Every client opens this connection and waits for server to send new messages

        :return:
        """
        lastindex = 0
        # For every client a infinite loop starts (in gRPC's own managed thread)

            while len(self.chats) > lastindex:
                n = self.chats[lastindex]
                lastindex += 1
                yield n

    def SendNote(self, request: chat.Note, context):

        This method is called when a clients sends a Note to the server.

        self.chats.append(request)
        return chat.Empty()

Client

address = 'localhost'
port = 11912


class Client:

    def __init__(self, u: str, window):
        # the frame to put ui components on
        self.window = window

        self.conn = rpc.ChatServerStub(channel)
        # create new listening thread for when new message streams come in
        threading.Thread(target=self.__listen_for_messages, daemon=True).start()
        self.__setup_ui()
        self.window.mainloop()

    def __listen_for_messages(self):
        """
        This method will be ran in a separate thread as the main/ui thread, because the for-in call is blocking
        when waiting for new messages
        """
        for note in self.conn.ChatStream(chat.Empty()):
            print("R[{}] {}".format(note.name, note.message))
            self.chat_list.insert(END, "[{}] {}\n".format(note.name, note.message))

    def send_message(self, event):
        """
        This method is called when user enters something into the textbox
        """
        message = self.entry_message.get()
        if message is not '':
            n = chat.Note()
            n.name = self.username
            n.message = message

            self.conn.SendNote(n)
            
    ...

The proto file

syntax = "proto3";

package grpc;

message Empty {}

// I called it Note because message Message is annoying to work with
message Note {
    string name = 1;
    string message = 2;
}

service ChatServer {
    // This bi-directional stream makes it possible to send and receive Notes between 2 persons
    rpc ChatStream (Empty) returns (stream Note);
    rpc SendNote (Note) returns (Empty);
}

python-grpc-chat's Issues

Deprecation warning

DEPRECATION WARNING: The system version of Tk is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Please don't rely on it. Set TK_SILENCE_DEPRECATION=1 to suppress this warning.

Not bidirectional streaming note

If it a bidirectional streaming system, the proto file should be like this:

service ChatServer {
    // This bi-directional stream makes it possible to send and receive Notes between 2 persons
    rpc ChatStream (stream Note) returns (stream Note);
}
