Remotely

Remotely is a simple and secure remote code execution api that supports both asynchronous and blocking execution.

Remotely can be used for:

• distributing tasks to other boxes in parallel
• running coding under other versions of python
• accessing libraries not available on the current box such as using win32com from linux
• accessing resources (files etc) on another box

You start the remotely server on the box where you want to execute code.

::

from remotely import create_remotely_server
server = create_remotely_server("YOUR_API_KEY", PORT)
server.serve_forever()
...

And you use the remotely decorater for any function you want to run remotely.

::

from remotely import remotely

@remotely("YOUR_API_KEY", SERVER, PORT)
def remote_code():
    # import required packages
    # do something here
    return result

# function will be executed on the remote server
remote_code()

The asynchronous (non-blocking) version runs the function as a separate process on the remote server and supports simple job management functions (join and kill).

::

from remotely import RemoteClient
rc = RemoteClient("API_KEY", SERVER, PORT)
pid = rc.run(foo, arg1, arg2=key2)
output = rc.join(pid)
output = rc.kill(pid)
