This is a Python port of Zyre 1.0, implementing the same ZRE protocol.
Pyre does local area discovery and clustering. A Pyre node broadcasts UDP beacons, and connects to peers that it finds. This class wraps a Pyre node with a message-based API.
All incoming events are messages delivered via the recv call of a Pyre instance. The first frame defines the type of the message, and following frames provide further values:
ENTER fromnode headers
a new peer has entered the network
EXIT fromnode
a peer has left the network
JOIN fromnode groupname
a peer has joined a specific group
LEAVE fromnode groupname
a peer has joined a specific group
WHISPER fromnode message
a peer has sent this node a message
SHOUT fromnode groupname message
a peer has sent one of our groups a message
In SHOUT and WHISPER the message is a single frame in this version of Pyre. In ENTER, the headers frame contains a packed dictionary, that can be unpacked using json.loads(msg) (see chat client).
To join or leave a group, use the join() and leave() methods. To set a header value, use the set_header() method. To send a message to a single peer, use whisper(). To send a message to a group, use shout().
For now use Pip:
pip install https://github.com/ropod-project/pyre/archive/master.zip
import pyre
# Constructor, creates a new Zyre node. Note that until you start the
# node it is silent and invisible to other nodes on the network.
node = pyre.Pyre()
# Set node header; these are provided to other nodes during discovery
# and come in each ENTER message.
node.set_header(name, value)
# (TODO: Currently a Pyre node starts immediately) Start node, after setting header values. When you start a node it
# begins discovery and connection.
node.start()
# Stop node, this signals to other peers that this node will go away.
# This is polite; however you can also just destroy the node without
# stopping it.
node.stop()
# Join a named group; after joining a group you can send messages to
# the group and all Zyre nodes in that group will receive them.
node.join(group)
# Leave a group
node.leave(group)
# Receive next message from network; the message may be a control
# message (ENTER, EXIT, JOIN, LEAVE) or data (WHISPER, SHOUT).
# Returns a list of message frames
msgs = node.recv();
# Send message to single peer, specified as a UUID object (import uuid)
# Destroys message after sending
node.whisper(peer, msg)
# Send message to a named group
# Destroys message after sending
node.shout(group, msg);
# Send string to single peer specified as a UUID string.
# String is formatted using printf specifiers.
node.whispers(peer, msg_string)
# Send message to a named group
# Destroys message after sending
node.shouts(group, msg_string);
# Return handle to the Zyre node, for polling
node.get_socket()
# use node.get_socket().getsockopt(zmq.FD) to acquire
# the filedescriptor
# Don't use this for getting Pyre events you can use the
# node.inbox to get those events

Pyre uses the Python Logging module. To change the debug level:
# Create a StreamHandler for debugging
logger = logging.getLogger("pyre")
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
# i.e. logging.DEBUG, logging.WARNING
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
logger.propagate = False
Python only needs PyZMQ. On some older versions of Python it also needs the ipaddress module.
The recommended Python version is 3.3+
