It implements the Twirp Wire Protocol v7, which is a lightweight alternative to gRPC that works over HTTP. The package provides an ASGI-compatible server wrapper (TwirpASGIApp) that you can run with uvicorn, plus client stubs that speak the Twirp protocol to remote services.\n\nYou define your service interface in a .proto file, run the protoc compiler with the twirpy plugin to generate Python code, then implement your service logic by subclassing the generated server class. The framework handles serialization, HTTP routing, and error handling. It depends on requests for HTTP calls, structlog for logging, and protobuf for message encoding.","worth_installing":"No\u2014the package is abandoned (last release 2022-04-24) with no active maintenance.
