TIBCO Rendezvous® API for Python

TIBCO Rendezvous® is copyright of TIBCO www.tibco.com

1. pytibrv is a Python wraper to TIBRV/C API. it use ctypes rather than Python Extension.
   If low-latency is the main issue, please use C API, not in Python.
   
2. Develop and test for Python3.5+, not support for Python2
   
3. pytibrv follow the naming convension of TIBRV/C
   ex:
   

   C	Python
   typedef int tibrv_status	tibrv_status = int
   tibrv_status tibrv_Open()	def tibrv_Open() -> tibrv_status:
   tibrv_status tibrv_Close()	def tibrv_Close() -> tibrv_status:
   const cahr * tibrv_Version()	def tibrv_Version() -> str:

   
   
4. TIBRV/C use POINTER to return object
   ex:
   TIBRV/C

   tibrv_statue tibrvMsg_Create(tibrvMsg * msg)
   
   ...
   tibrv_status    status;
   tibrvMsg        msg;
   status = tibrvMsg_Create(&msg)
   if (TIBRV_OK != status) {
   error handling
   
   }
   

   Python support multiple return

   def tibrvMsg_Create() -> (tibrv_status, tibrvMsg):
     ...
   
   # create msg
   # you could check status == TIBRV_OK or msg == None 
   status, msg = tibrvMsg_Create()
   if status != TIBRV_OK:
     # error handling
   
   if msg is None:
     # error handling
