Kazoo Child

Kazoo Child is a Python library for managing processes in distributed systems.

Introduction

Kazoo Child is built on top of the Kazoo library, which is a Python library for interacting with Apache ZooKeeper. It provides a child process management system for distributed systems, allowing developers to easily start, stop, and monitor child processes.

Kazoo Child is designed to be simple and easy to use, with minimal configuration required. It provides a clean API for managing child processes, and handles all of the complicated details of process management and communication.

Features

Kazoo Child provides a number of features to make managing child processes in distributed systems easier:

• Process management: Kazoo Child allows developers to easily start, stop, and monitor child processes across a distributed system.

• Communication: Kazoo Child provides a simple messaging API for communicating with child processes, allowing developers to easily send messages and receive responses.

• Monitoring: Kazoo Child provides a monitoring API for monitoring the status and health of child processes across a distributed system.

Getting Started

To get started with Kazoo Child, you should first install the library:

pip install kazoo-child

Once you have installed Kazoo Child, you can start using it in your Python code:

from kazoo.client import KazooClient
from kazoo_child import ChildProcess

# Connect to ZooKeeper
zk = KazooClient(hosts='localhost:2181')
zk.start()

# Create a child process
child = ChildProcess(zk, '/child')

# Start the child process
child.start()

# Send a message to the child process
response = child.send({'message': 'hello'})

# Stop the child process
child.stop()

# Close the ZooKeeper connection
zk.stop()

In this example, we first connect to ZooKeeper using the Kazoo library. We then create a new ChildProcess object using a ZooKeeper path ('/child'). We start the child process, send a message to it, and then stop the child process.

Conclusion

Kazoo Child is a powerful and easy-to-use library for managing child processes in distributed systems. It provides a clean API for process management and communication, and makes it easy to monitor the health of child processes across a distributed system. If you're building a distributed system in Python, Kazoo Child is definitely worth checking out!
