Python Interoperability Example for cfdp-rs
This example application showcases the interoperability of the CFDP handlers written in Rust with a Python implementation which uses cfdp-py library.
Both the Rust and the Python app exchange packet data units via a UDP interface and launch
both a destination and source handler. As such, they are both able to send and receive files.
Both applications can be started with the command line argument -f to initiate a file transfer.
You can run both applications with -h to get more information about the available options.
Running the Python App
It is recommended to run the Python App in a dedicated virtual environment. For example, on a
Unix system you can use python3 -m venv venv and then source venv/bin/activate to create
and activate a virtual environment.
After that, you can install the required dependencies using
pip install -r requirements.txt
and then run the application using ./main.py or python3 main.py.
It is recommended to run ./main.py -h first to get an overview of some possible options.
Running the Python App with ./main.py -f will cause the Python App to start a file copy operation
with fixed temporary paths.
Running the Rust App
You can run the Rust application using cargo, for example cargo run --example python-interop.
It is recommended to run cargo run --example python-interop -- -h to get an overview of some
possible launch options.
Running the Rust App with cargo run --example python-interop -- -f will cause the Rust app to
start a file copy operation with fixed temporary paths.
