Archer is a micro RPC framework inspired by Flask based on Thrift.

Save in a hello.py:

from archer import Archer
app = Archer('PingPong')

@app.api('ping')
def ping():
    return 'pong'

Save in a hello.thrift:

service PingPong {
    string ping(),
}

Archer would find the thrift file for you, and relying on Thriftpy to generate code on the fly.

And run it:

$ pip install Archer
$ archer run
* Running on 127.0.0.1:6000/

Archer would find the app instance to start a dev server, and reload it when detecting changes on your python or thrift file.

Just run the command:

$ archer call ping

* pong

Jump into shell with client at your hand:

$ archer client
>>> client.ping()

Pretty cool, eh!
