# ansys-dpf-gate: DPF (Ansys Data Processing Framework) python helpers to call DPF C and gRPC APIs

This module is designed to provide helper APIs to call C functions from DPFClientAPI (.dll or .so)
from python.
DPFClientAPI is a dynamic library providing C APIs to create, access and modify DPF's objects "in process" 
(sharing memory) and/or in "client/server" mode through gRPC. DPFClientAPI wraps and makes easier the switch
between the 2 modes of communication.

To allow for backward compatibility with old DPF Servers (strictly older than Ansys 2022 R2), which didn't have a DPFClientAPI,
an implementation of ansys-dpf-capi functions is done with direct calls to ansys-grpc-dpf (dpf grpc python module which
directly communicates with DPF server).
