ThriftPy 是 Apache Thrift 的一个纯 Python 语言实现。Apache Thrift 是跨语言服务访问的框架。最早由非死book 开发，贡献给了Apache。通过接口定义语言（IDL），定义和创建服务，Thrift生成特定语言的可供server和client 访问的代码。
Thrfit 有着非常优秀的效率，无论是内存还是 传输效率上。

特性

• Supports python2.7 to python3.4 and pypy.

• Compatible with Apache Thirft. You can use ThriftPy together with the official implemention servers and clients, such as a upstream server with a thriftpy client or the opposite.

  (Currently only binary protocol & buffered transport were implemented.)

• Can directly load thrift file as module, the sdk code will be generated on the fly.

  For example, pingpong = thriftpy.load("pingpong.thrift") will load 'pingpong.thrift' as 'pingpong' module.

  Or, when import hook enabled, directly use import pingpong_thrift to import the 'pingpong.thrift' file as module.

• Pure python, standalone implemention. No longer need to compile & install the 'thrift' package. All you need is python and thrift file.

• Easy RPC server/client setup.

服务器端示例代码：

import thriftpy  from thriftpy.rpc import make_server    pingpong = thriftpy.load("pingpong.thrift")    class Dispatcher(object):      def ping(self):          return "pong"    server = make_server(pingpong.PingPong, Dispatcher(), '127.0.0.1', 6000)  server.serve()

客户端：

import thriftpy  from thrift.rpc import make_client    pingpong = thriftpy.load("pingpong.thrift")    client = make_client(pingpong.PingPong, '127.0.0.1', 6000)  client.ping()
