Instruction

Install gearman client and gearman server

• on ubuntu/debian sudo apt-get install gearman-job-server gearman-tools -y You can find useful information HERE
• From the link above it will show you how to use command lines to pass jobs from client via server to worker. Even though it's in PHP I think it's very neat and handy.

After installation. Please follow the steps below:

• 1. start the gearmand daemon: $ sudo gearmand -p4730 -p means port
• 2. write a worker. In this example, its name is gmwork.py
• 3. write a client. In this example, its name is gmclient.py
• 4. start the work as for the worker $ sudo python gmwork.py
• 5. start the client $ sudo python gmclient.py

See what we got

Then you will see something like this, everytime you do the client:

root@raspberrypi /home/pi/sanbox/gearmanLab # python gmclient.py

foo is done by a gearman cute worker

• From the work(er) daemon we will see this:

root@raspberrypi /home/pi/sanbox/gearmanLab # python gmwork.py Job started

foo is done by a gearman cute worker

So now gearman works well with python. Happy hacking!
