It wraps the standard gRPC channel to manage a pool of underlying channels and route requests to specific backend instances based on configuration rules, useful for services that benefit from session affinity.\n\nThe package works by loading an API configuration file in text protobuf format that defines channel pool parameters and per-method routing rules, then providing a secure_channel factory that returns a channel pool object compatible with the standard gRPC Channel interface. It is a specialized tool for GCP service integration rather than a general-purpose gRPC enhancement.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-09-10) and targets Python 2.7 and Python 3.4\u20133.6, all end-of-life. For new projects, use current Google Cloud client libraries instead.
