Basic gRPC in Python

Contains a minimal working example for rolling gRPC in Python.

Derived from: basic-grpc-python and updated to Python 3 with some example data relevant to my current work.

For more details: blog post.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/exponential-decay/basic-grpc-python
cd basic-grpc-python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. publish.proto
python server.py
python client.py
