PyRFC is the same kind of the RFC connector for Python, like the JCo is for Java. The first statement is about the internal functionality of SAP NW RFC Library, to retrieve and cache the RFC metadata for the later use. The JCo is "kind of like", in a sense that it has automatic metadata lookup and caching functionality, with some functions exposed for the RFC client user.
A nice example from SAP Help shows what needs to be done on the C++ client side, to call an ABAP RFC using SAP NW RFC Library. Using JCo, the most of that is done internally, using the JCo built-in metadata and repository functionality.
Thanks to dynamic nature of the language, in Python all this happens "automatically", fully transparent for the user and the RFC client programmer does not have to care about metadata and repository.
Thanks for clarification!
In the website https://sap.github.io/PyRFC/ it shows the installation to Python 2. Does this support Python 3 as well?
@satyasashi Yes, but different Python versions need different distributions. You can find them here: https://github.com/SAP/PyRFC/tree/master/dist
I thought that PyRFC is the same for Python what JCo is for Java. But when I read here
especially the part
I am a bit confused.
Can you clarify, please.
