This is a key-value store inspired by the famous description of "Barbara" from "Bank Python". In essence, it's a global namespace that remote clients can attach to. The client includes an import loader, so modules can be imported straight from bailey.
- Store any pickleable object
- Uses the filesystem as a backing store; all manner of hacks are possible
- Import from the store! Any string object under the
/pysuperkey is importable!
- Robustness, performance, or any sort of production readiness
- The "Dagger" and "MnTable" components from "Bank Python"
- The "in-house IDE"
- "Wapole" (the job server) isn't implemented
- Client/server transport is XML-RPC 🤢
- As implemented, remote access isn't enabled yet
- The import hook is a half-baked, barely tested hack, with no support for submodules or packages
- Bytecode isn't cached, either
- This is a hack I threw together on a snow day
- Just like "Bank Python", you can't edit in-store code using regular editors
Start a server:
$ mkdir /tmp/bailey
$ python -m bailey.server
Attach a client:
from bailey import bailey
bailey()['/key/path'] = "value"
if bailey()['/key/path'] == "value":
print("Success!")From one interpreter:
from bailey import bailey
bailey()['/py/cool_math'] = """
def factorial(n):
if n <= 1:
return 1
else:
return n * factorial(n-1)
"""And from another:
from bailey import bailey
bailey() # this installs the import hook
import cool_math
print(cool_math.factorial(5)) # 120
