gRPC is a modern, open source, high-performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework that can run anywhere. gRPC enables client and server applications to communicate transparently, and simplifies the building of connected systems. This SlackBuild bundles python3-grpcio-tools (a protobuf code generator for gRPC). grpc (available at SlackBuilds.org) builds gRPC in C++ (rather than in Python 3). python3-grpcio 1.80.0 is the last available version on Slackware 15.0. Later versions require Python >= 3.10.
