Python Programming Blueprints

Making a call to our service

Our microservice is now running! In order to make our own calls, we can launch a Python shell that has Nameko integrated to allow us to call our entrypoints. To access it, open a new terminal window and execute the following:

$ nameko shell 

This should give you access to a Python shell with the ability to make Remote Procedure Calls. Let's try that out:

>>> n.rpc.konnichiwa_service.konnichiwa() 
'Konnichiwa!' 

It worked! We have successfully made a call to our Konnichiwa Service and received some output back. When we executed this code in our Nameko shell, we put a message on the queue, which was then received by our KonnichiwaService. It then spawned a new worker to carry out the work of the konnichiwa RPC.
