naz is an async SMPP client.
It's name is derived from Kenyan hip hop artiste, Nazizi.
SMPP is a protocol designed for the transfer of short message data between External Short Messaging Entities(ESMEs), Routing Entities(REs) and Short Message Service Center(SMSC). - Wikipedia
naz currently only supports SMPP version 3.4.
naz has no third-party dependencies and it requires python version 3.7+
naz is in active development and it's API may change in backward incompatible ways.

(a) For more information about all the parameters that naz.Client can take, consult the documentation here
(b) More examples can be found here
(c) if you need a SMSC server/gateway to test with, you can use the docker-compose file in this repo to bring up an SMSC simulator.
That docker-compose file also has a redis and rabbitMQ container if you would like to use those as your broker.
naz also ships with a commandline interface app called naz-cli.
create a python config file, eg;
/tmp/my_config.py
import naz
from myfile import ExampleBroker
client = naz.Client(
smsc_host="127.0.0.1",
smsc_port=2775,
system_id="smppclient1",
password="password",
broker=ExampleBroker()
)and a python file, myfile.py (in the current working directory) with the contents:
import asyncio
import naz
class ExampleBroker(naz.broker.BaseBroker):
def __init__(self):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
self.queue = asyncio.Queue(maxsize=1000, loop=loop)
async def enqueue(self, message):
self.queue.put_nowait(message)
async def dequeue(self):
return await self.queue.get()then
run:
naz-cli --client tmp.my_config.client

To see help:
naz-cli --help
naz is an async SMPP client.
example usage: naz-cli --client path.to.my_config.client
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version The currently installed naz version.
--client CLIENT The config file to use. eg: --client path.to.my_config.clientSMPP is an async protocol; the client can send a request and only get a response from SMSC/server 20mins later out of band.
It thus makes sense to write your SMPP client in an async manner. We leverage python3's async/await to do so.
import naz
import asyncio
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
broker = naz.broker.SimpleBroker(maxsize=1000)
cli = naz.Client(
smsc_host="127.0.0.1",
smsc_port=2775,
system_id="smppclient1",
password="password",
broker=broker,
)it's a loaded term, I know.
In naz you have the ability to annotate all the log events that naz will generate with anything you want.
So, for example if you wanted to annotate all log-events with a release version and your app's running environment.
import naz
logger = naz.log.SimpleLogger(
"naz.client",
log_metadata={ "environment": "production", "release": "v5.6.8"}
)
cli = naz.Client(
...
logger=logger,
)and then these will show up in all log events.
by default, naz annotates all log events with smsc_host, system_id and client_id
a hook is a class with two methods to_smsc and from_smsc, ie it implements naz's BaseHook interface as defined here.
naz will call the to_smsc method just before sending data to SMSC and also call the from_smsc method just after getting data from SMSC.
the default hook that naz uses is naz.hooks.SimpleHook which does nothing but logs.
If you wanted, for example to keep metrics of all requests and responses to SMSC in your prometheus setup;
import naz
from prometheus_client import Counter
class MyPrometheusHook(naz.hooks.BaseHook):
async def to_smsc(self, smpp_command, log_id, hook_metadata, pdu):
c = Counter('my_requests', 'Description of counter')
c.inc() # Increment by 1
async def from_smsc(self,
smpp_command,
log_id,
hook_metadata,
status,
pdu):
c = Counter('my_responses', 'Description of counter')
c.inc() # Increment by 1
myHook = MyPrometheusHook()
cli = naz.Client(
...
hook=myHook,
)another example is if you want to update a database record whenever you get a delivery notification event;
import sqlite3
import naz
class SetMessageStateHook(naz.hooks.BaseHook):
async def to_smsc(self, smpp_command, log_id, hook_metadata, pdu):
pass
async def from_smsc(self,
smpp_command,
log_id,
hook_metadata,
status,
pdu):
if smpp_command == naz.SmppCommand.DELIVER_SM:
conn = sqlite3.connect('mySmsDB.db')
c = conn.cursor()
t = (log_id,)
# watch out for SQL injections!!
c.execute("UPDATE SmsTable SET State='delivered' WHERE CorrelatinID=?", t)
conn.commit()
conn.close()
stateHook = SetMessageStateHook()
cli = naz.Client(
...
hook=stateHook,
)If you want to integrate naz with your bug/issue tracker of choice, all you have to do is use their logging integrator.
As an example, to integrate naz with sentry, all you have to do is import and init the sentry sdk. A good place to do that would be in the naz config file, ie;
/tmp/my_config.py
import naz
from myfile import ExampleBroker
import sentry_sdk # import sentry SDK
sentry_sdk.init("https://<YOUR_SENTRY_PUBLIC_KEY>@sentry.io/<YOUR_SENTRY_PROJECT_ID>")
my_naz_client = naz.Client(
smsc_host="127.0.0.1",
smsc_port=2775,
system_id="smppclient1",
password="password",
broker=ExampleBroker()
)then run the naz-cli as usual:
naz-cli --client tmp.my_config.my_naz_client
And just like that you are good to go. This is what errors from naz will look like on sentry(sans the emojis, ofcourse):
Sometimes you want to control the rate at which the client sends requests to an SMSC/server. naz lets you do this, by allowing you to specify a custom rate limiter.
By default, naz uses a simple token bucket rate limiting algorithm implemented here.
You can customize naz's ratelimiter or even write your own ratelimiter (if you decide to write your own, you just have to satisfy the BaseRateLimiter interface found here )
To customize the default ratelimiter, for example to send at a rate of 35 requests per second.
import naz
myLimiter = naz.ratelimiter.SimpleRateLimiter(send_rate=35)
cli = naz.Client(
...
rate_limiter=myLimiter,
)Sometimes, when a client sends requests to an SMSC/server, the SMSC may reply with an ESME_RTHROTTLED status.
This can happen, say if the client has surpassed the rate at which it is supposed to send requests at, or the SMSC is under load or for whatever reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The way naz handles throtlling is via Throttle handlers.
A throttle handler is a class that implements the BaseThrottleHandler interface as defined here
naz calls that class's throttled method everytime it gets a throttled(ESME_RTHROTTLED) response from the SMSC and it also calls that class's not_throttled method
everytime it gets a response from the SMSC and the response is NOT a throttled response.
naz will also call that class's allow_request method just before sending a request to SMSC. the allow_request method should return True if requests should be allowed to SMSC
else it should return False if requests should not be sent.
By default naz uses naz.throttle.SimpleThrottleHandler to handle throttling.
The way SimpleThrottleHandler works is, it calculates the percentage of responses that are throttle responses and then denies outgoing requests(towards SMSC) if percentage of responses that are throttles goes above a certain metric.
As an example if you want to deny outgoing requests if the percentage of throttles is above 1.2% over a period of 180 seconds and the total number of responses from SMSC is greater than 45, then;
import naz
throttler = naz.throttle.SimpleThrottleHandler(sampling_period=180,
sample_size=45,
deny_request_at=1.2)
cli = naz.Client(
...
throttle_handler=throttler,
)How does your application and naz talk with each other?
It's via a broker interface. Your application queues messages to a broker, naz consumes from that broker and then naz sends those messages to SMSC/server.
You can implement the broker mechanism any way you like, so long as it satisfies the BaseBroker interface as defined here
Your application should call that class's enqueue method to -you guessed it- enqueue messages to the queue while naz will call the class's dequeue method to consume from the broker.
naz ships with a simple broker implementation called naz.broker.SimpleBroker.
An example of using that;
import asyncio
import naz
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
my_broker = naz.broker.SimpleBroker(maxsize=1000,) # can hold upto 1000 items
cli = naz.Client(
...
broker=my_broker,
)
try:
# 1. connect to the SMSC host
# 2. bind to the SMSC host
# 3. send any queued messages to SMSC
# 4. read any data from SMSC
# 5. continually check the state of the SMSC
tasks = asyncio.gather(
cli.connect(),
cli.tranceiver_bind(),
cli.dequeue_messages(),
cli.receive_data(),
cli.enquire_link(),
)
loop.run_until_complete(tasks)
except Exception as e:
print("exception occured. error={0}".format(str(e)))
finally:
loop.run_until_complete(cli.unbind())
loop.stop()then in your application, queue items to the queue;
# queue messages to send
for i in range(0, 4):
msg = naz.protocol.SubmitSM(
short_message="Hello World-{0}".format(str(i)),
log_id="myid12345",
source_addr="254722111111",
destination_addr="254722999999",
)
loop.run_until_complete(
cli.send_message(msg)
)Here is another example, but where we now use redis for our broker;
import json
import asyncio
import naz
import aioredis
class RedisExampleBroker(naz.broker.BaseBroker):
"""
use redis as our broker.
This implements a basic FIFO queue using redis.
Basically we use the redis command LPUSH to push messages onto the queue and BRPOP to pull them off.
https://redis.io/commands/lpush
https://redis.io/commands/brpop
You should use a non-blocking redis client eg https://github.com/aio-libs/aioredis
"""
def __init__(self):
self.queue_name = "myqueue"
async def enqueue(self, item):
_redis = await aioredis.create_redis_pool(address=("localhost", 6379))
await _redis.lpush(self.queue_name, json.dumps(item))
async def dequeue(self):
_redis = await aioredis.create_redis_pool(address=("localhost", 6379))
x = await _redis.brpop(self.queue_name)
dequed_item = json.loads(x[1].decode())
return dequed_item
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

loop.run_until_complete(tasks)
except Exception as e:
