Was looking at RPC framework for a project, in the end I went with Apache Thrift since at that time there was no Python 3 support for gRPC [1]. IIRC Thrift also lacks support for my project's Python version (3.5) but at least I can use thriftpy [2]. https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/282 https://github.com/eleme/thriftpy

now support Python3. http://www.grpc.io/about/#osp

The last time I tried gRPC with Python in Windows it didn't compile out of the box.

It should work now. We have worked to get python3 work across platforms.

Anyone here who tried out gRPC or is using it in production, and can share some experiences?

docker recently adopted it for its new docker swarm feature.

We put in a lot of work to make gRPC work well with python 3.5, so give it a try if possible. disclaimer: I work on gRPC.

With the 1.0.0 release, there are Windows binaries for all supported Python versions (2.7, 3.4, 3.5). Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of Pip before trying to pip install grpcio. (The binaries use some ABI tags that are only recognized by newer versions of pip)

What's missing to get client/server stub in pure C?

gRPC core libraries for C++ are written in pure C. We need to extend these to use a pure C implementation of Proto and create a C based generated API. We have experimented with this and some users have also tried it. We are looking to add this in future and also welcome contributions.

Is "internet scale" the new "web scale"?

10s of billions of requests per second sounds like it needs a new term compared to 10s of billions of requests per day.
