A simple calculator implementation with gRPC

Implementation of a gRPC Calculator in Python

This README provides a step-by-step guide to implementing a simple gRPC-based calculator in Python. The calculator will support basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.6+
2. virtualenv (optional but recommended for creating isolated Python environments)

1. Setup the Environment

1. Install virtualenv (if not already installed):

   pip install virtualenv

2. Create a virtual environment:

   virtualenv myenv

3. Activate the virtual environment:
   1. For Windows:

      myenv\Scripts\activate

   2. For Linux/Mac:

      source myenv/bin/activate

4. Install necessary packages:

   pip install grpcio grpcio-tools

2. Generate gRPC Code from the Proto File

1. Run the following command to generate the gRPC code:

   python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=--grpc_python_out=. calculator.proto

   This will generate two files:

   1. calculator_pb2.py
   2. calculator_pb2_grpc.py.

2. Running the Server and Client

   1. Run the Server:

      python server.py
      

   2. Run the Client:

      python client.py
      

Enjoy the application!
