What is an efficient way to augment the code below in order to POST to a rest microservice located remotely across the internet at mydomain.com/api/my-endpoint the contents currently written to a local file?
BACKGROUND:
Many different points-in-process within the flow of a Python program all write to the same local file by calling the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown below.
The data in the file is therefore generated in many different parts of the Python program spread across many different .py files, and then the data is all directed through calls to SomeObject.py's writeFile('some line of text') method.
REQUIREMENT:
A remote microservice located remotely across the internet at mydomain.com/api/my-endpoint needs to also receive every line that is written to the local file by the many different points in the flow of the local Python program through calls to SomeObject.py's writeFile('some line of text') method.
Python 3.12 is being used.
Can someone please show code that will efficiently send every line that is written to the local file by the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown belowto the microservice running at the mydomain.com/api/my-endpoint endpoint?
SOME POSSIBLE APPROACHES:
The problem I see is that a bottleneck could be created if a POST request is made for each and every line that is written by the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown below.
Remember that the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown below is called by many different locations spread throughout many files/objects in the Python program. This means that each time the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown below runs, only one line is printed to the file at a time.
One option might be to add some logic to create a buffer around the writeFile('some line of text') method of SomeObject.py shown below, but that might result in overly complicated code to do something that might be possible using some library or free open source tool that might abstract away all the required logic, so that more concise code could perform this task.
Another option might be to use some library or tool to listen to the file as it is being written, and to stream the data from the file to the mydomain.com/api/my-endpoint endpoint as the file is being written.
The local machine must be able to easily provision itself through automation to perform this task using free software, because each local machine will need to be ephemeral. So we cannot use any solution that would require complex installations or licenses.
CODE:
def writeFile(self, line): filePath = 'some valid path' fileAndPath = filePath +'/myfile.txt' line = str(line) with open(fileAndPath, "a", encoding="utf-8") as f: f.write(line +'\n') try: print(line) except UnicodeEncodeError as e: print(line.encode('utf-8')) print("The preceding line is returned here as a byte array because it threw a UnicodeEncodeError which was handled by encoding its as utf-8, which returns a byte array. ")
