import rexec
output_json = rexec.check_call((<daemon-server>, <daemon-port>), <secret-password>, <action-name>, <input-json>)

The client does not need PyWin32

Tests

If PyWin32 is not installed, some test will skip

git clone https://github.com/dslcmprojects/rexec
cd rexec
python -m unittest

To run all the tests on Windows you need to install the package globally in developer mode:

pip install -e .

Run the Windows tests:

python -m unittest tests.test_win32_service

Package

Build a package:

python setup.py sdist
