|
||||
Welcome to capnp's documentation!
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a python wrapping of the C++ implementation of the `Capnproto <http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/>`_ library. Here is a description, quoted from its docs:
|
||||
|
||||
Cap’n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think Protocol Buffers, except faster. In fact, in benchmarks, Cap’n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.
|
||||
|
||||
The INFINITY TIMES faster part isn't so true for python, but in some simplistic benchmarks (available in the `benchmark directory of the repo <https://github.com/jparyani/capnpc-python-cpp/tree/master/benchmark>`_), capnp is 4x faster than the pure python Protocol Buffer library, and 2x faster than the C++ implementation.

Installation
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
C++ Capnproto Library
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You need to install the C++ Capnproto library first. It requires a C++ compiler with C++11 support, such as GCC 4.7+ or Clang 3.2+. Follow installation docs at `http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html <http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html>`_ with an added `sudo ldconfig` after you're done installing, or if you're feeling lazy, you can run the commands below::
|
||||
|
||||
wget https://github.com/kentonv/capnproto/archive/master.zip
|
||||
unzip master.zip
|
||||
cd capnproto-master/c++
|
||||
./setup-autotools.sh
|
||||
autoreconf -i
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make -j6 check
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
sudo ldconfig
|
||||
|
||||
Pip
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Using pip is by far the easiest way to install the library. After you've installed the C++ library, all you need to run is::
|
||||
|
||||
pip install capnp
|
||||
|
||||
From Source
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the latest development version, you can clone the github repo and install like so::
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/jparyani/capnpc-python-cpp.git
|
||||
pip install capnpc-python-cpp
|
||||
|
||||
or::
|
||||
|
||||
cd capnpc-python-cpp
|
||||
python setup.py install
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't use pip, you will need to manually install Cython, and a setuptools with a version > .7.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're done installing, take a look at the :ref:`quickstart`

Quickstart
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
This assumes you already have the capnp library installed. If you don't, please follow the instructions at :ref:`Installation <install>` first.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, this library is a very light wrapping of the `Capnproto C++ library <http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/cxx.html>`_. You can refer to its docs for more advanced concepts, or just to get a basic idea of how the python library is structured.
|
||||
|
||||
Load a Capnproto Schema
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to import the library::
|
||||
|
||||
import capnp
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can load the Capnproto schema with::
|
||||
|
||||
capnp.load('addressbook.capnp')
|
||||
|
||||
For future reference, here is the capnproto schema. Also available in the github repository under examples/addressbook.capnp::
|
||||
|
||||
# addressbook.capnp
|
||||
0x934efea7f017fff0;
|
||||
|
||||
struct Person {
|
||||
id @0 :UInt32;
|
||||
name @1 :Text;
|
||||
email @2 :Text;
|
||||
phones @3 :List(PhoneNumber);
|
||||
|
||||
struct PhoneNumber {
|
||||
number @0 :Text;
|
||||
type @1 :Type;
|
||||
|
||||
enum Type {
|
||||
mobile @0;
|
||||
home @1;
|
||||
work @2;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
employment @4 union {
|
||||
unemployed @5 :Void;
|
||||
employer @6 :Text;
|
||||
school @7 :Text;
|
||||
selfEmployed @8 :Void;
|
||||
# We assume that a person is only one of these.
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
struct AddressBook {
|
||||
people @0 :List(Person);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Build a message
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Message Builder
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to allocate a MessageBuilder for your message to go in. There is only 1 message allocator available at the moment (Malloc), although there may be more varied kinds in the future::
|
||||
|
||||
message = capnp.MallocMessageBuilder()
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize a New Capnproto Object
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a message buffer, you need to allocate an actual object that is from your schema. In this case, we will allocate an `AddressBook`::
|
||||
|
||||
addressBook = message.initRoot(addressbook.AddressBook)
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that we used `addressbook` from the previous section: `Load a Capnproto Schema`_.
|
||||
|
||||
List
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Allocating a list inside of an object requires use of the `init` function::
|
||||
|
||||
people = addressBook.init('people', 2)
|
||||
|
||||
For now, let's grab the first element out of this list and assign it to a variable named `alice`::
|
||||
|
||||
alice = people[0]
|
||||
|
||||
Primitive Types
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
For all primitive types, from the Capnproto docs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Boolean: Bool
|
||||
- Integers: Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64
|
||||
- Unsigned integers: UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64
|
||||
- Floating-point: Float32, Float64
|
||||
- Blobs: Text, Data
|
||||
|
||||
You can just assign straight to the variable with the corresponding Python type. For Blobs, you just use strings. Assignment happens just by using the `.` syntax on the object you contstructed above::
|
||||
|
||||
alice.id = 123
|
||||
alice.name = 'Alice'
|
||||
alice.email = 'alice@example.com'
|
||||
|
||||
Enums
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
First we'll allocate a length one list of phonenumbers for `alice`::
|
||||
|
||||
alicePhone = alice.init('phones', 1)[0]
|
||||
|
||||
Note that even though it was a length 1 list, it was still a list that was returned, and we extracted the first (and only) element with `[0]`.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, enums are treated like strings, and you just assign to them like there were a Text field::
|
||||
|
||||
alicePhone.type = 'mobile'
|
||||
|
||||
If you assign an invalid value to one, you will get a ValueError::
|
||||
|
||||
alicePhone.type = 'foo'
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
|
||||
...
|
||||
ValueError: src/capnp/schema.c++:326: requirement not met: enum has no such enumerant; name = foo
|
||||
|
||||
Unions
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
For the most part, you just treat them like structs::
|
||||
|
||||
alice.employment.school = "MIT"
|
||||
|
||||
Now the `school` field is the active part of the union, and we've assigned `'MIT'` to it. You can query which field is set in a union with `which()`, shown in `Reading Unions`_
|
||||
|
||||
Also, one weird case is for Void types in Unions (and in general, but Void is really only used in Unions). For these, you will have to assign `None` to them::
|
||||
bob.employment.unemployed = None
|
||||
|
||||
Writing to a File
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
For now, the only way to serialize a message is to write it directly to a file descriptor (expect serializing to strings at some point soon)::
|
||||
|
||||
f = open('example.bin', 'w')
|
||||
capnp.writePackedMessageToFd(f.fileno(), message)
|
||||
|
||||
Note the call to fileno(), since it expects a raw file descriptor. There is also `writeMessageToFd` instead of `writePackedMessageToFd`. Make sure your reader uses the same packing type.
|
||||
|
||||
Read a message
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Reading from a file
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Much like before, you will have to de-serialize the message from a file descriptor::
|
||||
|
||||
f = open('example.bin')
|
||||
message = capnp.PackedFdMessageReader(f.fileno())
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize a New Capnproto Object
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Just like when building, you have to actually specify which message you want to read out of buffer::
|
||||
|
||||
addressBook = message.getRoot(addressbook.AddressBook)
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this very much needs to match the type you wrote out. In general, you will always be sending the same message types out over a given channel, wrap all your types in an unnamed enum, or you need some out of band method for communicating what type a message is. Unnamed unions are defined in the .capnp file like so::
|
||||
|
||||
struct Message {
|
||||
union {
|
||||
person @0 :Person;
|
||||
addressbook @1 :AddressBook;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Reading Fields
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Fields are very easy to read. You just use the `.` syntax as before. Lists behave just like normal Python lists::
|
||||
|
||||
for person in addressBook.people:
|
||||
print(person.name, ':', person.email)
|
||||
for phone in person.phones:
|
||||
print(phone.type, ':', phone.number)
|
||||
|
||||
Reading Unions
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The only tricky one is unions, where you need to call `.which()` to determine the union type. The `.which()` call returns an enum, ie. a string, corresponding to the field name::
|
||||
|
||||
which = person.employment.which()
|
||||
print(which)
|
||||
|
||||
if which == 'unemployed':
|
||||
print('unemployed')
|
||||
elif which == 'employer':
|
||||
print('employer:', person.employment.employer)
|
||||
elif which == 'school':
|
||||
print('student at:', person.employment.school)
|
||||
elif which == 'selfEmployed':
|
||||
print('self employed')
|
||||
print()
|
||||
|
||||
