PyRFC - The Python RFC Connector

The pyrfc Python package provides Python bindings for SAP NetWeaver RFC Library, for a comfortable way of calling ABAP modules from Python and Python modules from ABAP, via SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) protocol.

It was inspired by Piers Harding’s sapnwrfc package, wrapping the existing SAP NetWeaver RFC Library and rewritten using Cython.

To start using pyrfc follow the Installation guide.
