Package for gRPC Python.
Python >= 3.8
gRPC Python is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
If you are installing locally...
$ pip install grpcio
Else system wide (on Ubuntu)...
$ sudo pip install grpcio
If you're on Windows make sure that you installed the pip.exe
component
when you installed Python (if not go back and install it!) then invoke:
$ pip.exe install grpcio
Windows users may need to invoke pip.exe
from a command line ran as
administrator.
n.b. On Windows and on Mac OS X one must have a recent release of pip
to retrieve the proper wheel from PyPI. Be sure to upgrade to the latest
version!
Building from source requires that you have the Python headers (usually a
package named python-dev
).
$ export REPO_ROOT=grpc # REPO_ROOT can be any directory of your choice $ git clone -b RELEASE_TAG_HERE https://github.com/grpc/grpc $REPO_ROOT $ cd $REPO_ROOT $ git submodule update --init # To include systemd socket-activation feature in the build, # first install the `libsystemd-dev` package, then : $ export GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_WITH_SYSTEMD=1 # For the next two commands do `sudo pip install` if you get permission-denied errors $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_WITH_CYTHON=1 pip install .
You cannot currently install Python from source on Windows. Things might work out for you in MSYS2 (follow the Linux instructions), but it isn't officially supported at the moment.
Help, I ...
... see the following error on some platforms
/tmp/pip-build-U8pSsr/cython/Cython/Plex/Scanners.c:4:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory #include "Python.h" ^ compilation terminated.
You can fix it by installing python-dev package. i.e
sudo apt-get install python-dev
