Usage

Plugins

AST-like JSON

Generate an AST-like JSON file from the .proto file:

$ python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --pytools-ast_out=. xx.proto

Tools

Pythonic services

Generate more Pythonic services for all gRPC services defined in the xx_pb2.py file (generated by grpcio-tools):

$ python -m grpc_pytools.pythonic --proto-ast-file=/path/to/xx_ast.json --pb2-module-name=python.path.to.xx_pb2

Marshmallow schemas

Generate Marshmallow schemas for all gRPC messages defined in the xx_pb2.py file:

$ python -m grpc_pytools.marshmallow --proto-ast-file=/path/to/xx_ast.json --pb2-module-name=python.path.to.xx_pb2

RESTArt APIs

Generate simple RESTArt APIs for all gRPC methods defined in the xx_pb2.py file:

$ python -m grpc_pytools.restart --proto-ast-file=/path/to/xx_ast.json --pb2-module-name=python.path.to.xx_pb2 --grpc-server=localhost:50051
