Serve in process

You can directly start the server from the client application:

from pizco import Server

from myproject import Robot

# The class (not the object!) is given as the first argument
# and it returns a proxy to the served object.
robot_proxy = Server.serve_in_process(Robot)

robot_proxy.move_arm()

print(robot_proxy.age)

The server is started in a new instance of the same python interpreter. Pizco will provide this new process with the path of the Robot class but you need to be sure that any other dependency is available.

If the Robot constructor takes some arguments you can give them like this:

robot_proxy = Server.serve_in_process(Robot,
                                      args=('Robbie', ),
                                      kwargs={'age': 3})

Finally, you can ask Pizco to show the running server with a pop-up window:

robot_proxy = Server.serve_in_process(Robot,
                                      args=('Robbie', ),
                                      kwargs={'age': 3},
                                      gui=True)
